This setting enables the Connex software to determine (just before
printing) the most efficient way to print the tray. Digital Material mode
is used if this removes the need to perform the Material Replacement
procedure. Otherwise, High Speed mode is used.
For example, if printing the tray requires only one of the model
materials loaded in the printer, only the two print heads using that
material are used to print models—Digital Material mode. (High
Quality and High Speed modes call for printing model material with
four heads, which would require you to perform the Material
Replacement procedure.)
On the other hand, if printing the tray can be done using four print
heads without running the Material Replacement procedure, High
Speed mode is used. This is possible if all print heads are supplied with
one model material, or if you allow printing with an arbitrary mixture
of similar materials (see below).
Model Quality When Digital Material Mode is Used
Near-high-quality is achieved for most models.
If all objects on the tray are inserted from individual stl files, they are
printed with the standard resolution of 600 dpi (dots per inch) along the
Y-axis—unless glossy finish is required (see "Surface Finish" on page 24).
If there is an assembly on the tray, all of the models on the tray are
printed with a resolution of 300 dpi along the Y-axis.
