Setting up the "User" media settings:

Here are the recommended settings for the Users of board media:
Note: Though all four Users are visible in both Roll and Board modes it is
recommended that Users 1 to 4 be reserved for 'Roll' media where three heaters are
required.
Select either of Users 5 to 8 as they are reserved for Board mode where only the
Platen heater is required. Neither the 'Pre' nor 'After' heaters come in contact with the
media when in 'Board' mode so they are not an option while in Board mode.
1) Set the Head Height to Middle.
2) Set the Thickness to whatever media thickness was used during the Initial
installation alignment procedure. The backlit material that may have come with the
printer is approx 160 um (microns).
3) Change P Move to Machine. This will cause the printhead carriage to pass the full
width of the printer during printing but it will give the ink the best chance to settle
properly during printing.
4) Side Margin can be changed. The Toucan LT is capable of printing 'full bleed',
edge to edge, However, there is a caution: Once the User is changed to 0mm, DO
NOT perform a Check nozzle pattern. Doing so will cause a CPU error and f
the restart of the printer. Also the default of any User is 5mm
a nother User it will default back to 5mm. Even the first User will be 5mm when it
is reselected.
