To Optimize Output - AGFA SelectSet Avantra User Manual

• When you go to the Pause Screen to perform feed or cut operations
yourself, the imagesetter may have to delay these actions if media
is already moving onto the bridge. In such cases, the icon in the bot-
tom left corner of the Pause Screen changes. The changed icon
flashes until the cut media has advanced far enough onto the bridge
to leave room for the piece about to be cut.
• This icon also flashes briefly on the screen when the imagesetter au-
tomatically feeds and cuts media.

To Optimize Output

Avoid sending short jobs (less than 10" or 25.4 cm) immediately before
long jobs.
For example, if you image a 20" job after a job that is shorter than 10",
the media cut produces a piece approaching 30" long. The imagesetter
waits until this media clears the bridge before it resumes imaging.
To avoid this idle time between jobs, you can:
• Plan your output so that you queue short jobs together and long
jobs together.
• Feed a small amount of media (enough to make the 10"/25.4 cm
minimum cut length) after a short job when the next job is long.
