Managing Media List - GRAPHTEC OPS675 User Manual

3. Managing Media List

1
In the main screen ( page 9), click [Edit Media List] to open the [Edit Media List] screen.
In the [Edit Media List] screen, you can create a new tool condition and delete, replicate, or edit the
existing tool conditions. You can also load settings from the plotter or assign a Condition No. (1 to 8)
to a condition. The condition with a Condition No. can be called in the plotter.
You can save a tool condition as a fi le to any location on your computer (export) or load a setting fi le
that have been saved (import).
CAUTION
· Although installing the controller also installs a standard media list (a list of tool conditions), optimal settings
may differ depending on the use environment, the types of media, applications, and other factors. Be sure to
run cutting tests and set the optimal tool condition before performing actual cutting.
· On Windows Vista/7/8, the media list is saved for each logged-on user. If you want to use the same media list
as before, log on as the same user.
· On Windows XP, changes made to a media list are saved when you exit the controller as long as you are
logged on as administrator. If you are logged on as user other than administrator, the changes are not saved
when you exit the controller.
Reference
Up to 100 tool conditions can be saved to the list. If you try to save tool conditions that exceed the limit of 100,
a message will appear. In that case, you should delete unnecessary setting fi les.

Media Name
The controller manages tool conditions by using media names. This is because the media to be used determines
the tool condition. Note that, however, optimal condition settings for the same media may differ depending on the
use environment or the shape of the image to be plotted. Therefore, saving a tool condition under a fi le name that
consist of the media name and additional description by which the variation of the settings can be understood may
help to fi nd the settings that are close to the optimal condition.
