SelectSet Avantra Special Tools
This section provides additional information about two special
Avantra features controlled by user tools:
Virtual cassette mode
Media optimization
Operating in Virtual Cassette Mode
SelectSet Avantra imagesetters equipped with a bridge and buffer to
enable on-line processing can operate in virtual cassette 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 type,
width, thickness).
In the Pause Screen, load one of the media supplies.
In the Feed Amounts screen, set the Supply Alarm value so that
the media low alarm will be activated when media is running low.
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
supply.
Imaging continues until the second media supply sets off a low
media alarm.
The imagesetter remains in virtual cassette mode until you
download the tool SET_V_C.OFF.
