Mutoh XPJ-1642WR Pro / XPJ-1642WR Help

• Remember that color reproduction is controlled by ICC color profiles, and not by Wasatch software.
• We have not been able to get this printer into our lab, and therefore have not been able create any color profiles for them.
• You should contact your dealer for further support with ICC color profiles, or arrange to produce your own.
• Because of lack of access to this printer, Wasatch's service department cannot provide the same level of support that we provide for most other printers.
• Please rely on your dealer for support of this device.

Print Mode:

Pressing the Properties button next to the Printer Model window on the Imaging Configurations screen will launch the control panel for this printer.

• Print Mode: Choose resolution for printing.
• Inkset Type: Select the desired inkset to use. Choices are CMYK and Monochrome.
• Head: Choose to print with Head 1, Head 2, or select 'Off' for printing with both heads.
• Pass Count: Select pass count. Will vary depending on Print Mode selected.
• Quality Mode: Select the quality mode to use for printing. Some of the print modes only offer one quality mode.
• Dot Set: Choose to print with the Small, Medium, or Large dot set.
• Dot Size: Select the size of the dot to print with, when using the above selected dot set.
• Speed: Set the speed that the head travels at during printing.
• Wave Effect: Select the wave pattern to print with. NOTE: The ripping time may increase when using a higher wave effect.
• Scan Width: Choose if the print head should travel the width of the image, the width of the media, or the width of the printer.
• Print Direction: Print in Unidirection (one direction) or Bidirection (both directions).
• Overprint: Choose the number of times each area is printed over. A setting of 2 would double the amount of ink that is printed.
• Media Cut: The sheet cutting option can be set to Off, or to use the front panel settings, or to perform a single cut or double cut. See below.
• If the cut is set to double cut, after the cut operation is executed once, the cutting blade returns to the same position and execute the cut again.
• If the cut is set to 2 steps, the cut will be completed in two motions.
• If the cut is set to 3 steps, the cut will be completed in three motions.
• If the cut is set to the high pressure, the cut operation will be executed with high pressure.
• If the cut is set to the low pressure, the cut operation will be executed with low pressure.
• Time Between Passes (sec): Allows you to specify the minimum time that a printhead pass will take. This may be necessary to slow down the printhead when there are excessive drying problems, or when printing separations onto film.

Media:

When you click on Media, the following properties page will be displayed:

• Send Paper Feed Calibration (-5.00% to 5.00%): Enter calibration value for adjusting the paper feed.
• Print a line that is 1000 mm long in the paper feed direction. (ie. c:\psfiles\1000mm.ps)
• Measure the actual printed distance.
• Enter the difference in millimeters. For example, enter -0.5% if a measurement of the print is a value of 995 mm.
• Set Drying Time After Print: Additional drying time, in seconds, can be set after the print is completed.
• Set Front Panel Media Settings: Allows one of the printers predefined front panel Media Settings to be selected, without having to switch the front panel over to this media setting.
• Set Media Thickness: Set the appropriate media thickness in microns. The conversion of microns to millimeters is: 80 microns = 0.08 mm
• Set Vacuum Fan: Select the suction power of the media vacuum fan to hold media onto the platen.
• Set Head Height: Specify the head height for the print job. Choices are low, medium, or high.

Heater:

When you click on Heater, the following properties page will be displayed:

The Heater page allows you to adjust the heater settings.

• Checking 'Use Front Panel Heater Settings' disables driver heater controls and uses the printer's front panel settings.
• Checking 'Dryer Heater Temperature' will activate the control, allowing a temperature to be set.
• Adjust heater temperature in degrees centigrade. Temperature in Fahrenheit is displayed to the right of the control.

Color Separations:

When you click on Color Separations, the following properties page will be displayed:

The Color Separations controls are only available if Monochrome has been selected on the Print Mode tab.

• Make Separations on RIP: This will cause the RIP to separate the image into CMYK plates.
• Make Negative: This inverts monochrome images when printed.
• KCMY: This allows you to print monochrome images directly to any of the printheads. This is especially useful to eliminate overuse of a single printhead when printing only monochrome.
