Chapter 1: Overview
Control Center menu options
Software Version
Displays the current fi rmware version installed in the printer.
Cartridge Count
Displays how many cartridges are in active use by the printer.
Get Plotter Data
Reads and displays the current settings stored in the printer in the
input boxes.
Plotter Data (check box)
Indicates when the displayed settings were successfully downloaded
from the printer. If this box is unchecked, the Control Center was
unable to connect with the printer and cannot display current settings.
Check the connections, baud rate and COM port. Press the Get Plotter
Data button to attempt to download settings if the process failed
during startup.
Line Width
Controls the weight of the plotted line using line width. Three levels
are available; Thin, Normal, and Thick. Thin lines use less ink and
make fi ne details like Asian text and small pieces easier to see. Thick
lines use more ink to produce higher contrast lines.
Used in conjunction with the Quality Setting (see below), the FJ Print-
er provides six options for output quality, to enable you to produce
clearly visible lines using the least possible amount of ink.
Scale
The printer scale ranges from 1% to 999%. The factory default Scale
is 100%. A scale set to 50% prints at half size. Changes do not take
effect until the Set Scale button is pressed. Note: Both X- and Y-Axes
are set independently.
Frame Size
Most design software sends long plots to printers by breaking them
into smaller pieces called frames. In general, design software does this
automatically and adjusts the Frame Size in the printer to match.
The Frame Size setting establishes clipping limits for each data
frame. If the printed size of a plot frame exceeds the frame size set
in the printer, the excess is clipped or thrown away. (If the plot is
clipped, try increasing the Frame Size manually.) The factory-set
X-axis (paper direction) frame size is 46 in (116.8-cm), maximum is
21600 in (54,864-cm). Default and maximum Y-axis ( carriage direc-
tion) frame size is 72 in (182.9-cm).
