Virtual Cassette Operating Mode

SelectSet Avantra imagesetters equipped with both the DualSupply
Option and an on-line processor and bridge can operate in virtual cas-
sette mode.
Virtual cassette mode works like this:
• Specify on-line processor as the output mode in the Configuration
Screen.
• Fill both media supply cassettes with the same media. (Same media
type, width, thickness)
• In the Pause Screen, load one of the media supplies.
• Download the tool SET_V_C.ON to enable virtual cassette mode.
• Queue jobs to be imaged.
• Jobs are imaged until the current media supply sets off a low media
alarm.
• The imagesetter completes the current job and sends it to the
bridge. It then unloads the current supply and loads the other sup-
ply.
• Imaging continues until the second media supply sets off a low
media alarm.
• The imagesetter remains in virtual cassette mode until you down-
load the tool SET_V_C.OFF.
