Definition of Feed Amounts Functions

Feed Amount: Media fed when you use the Feed button in the
Utilities screen or when you send a feed command from your front-
end computer.
Feed and Cut Amount: The amount of media fed between the most
recent job and a cut. Used by the Feed and Cut function on the Pause
screen for off-line processing. For on-line processing with the Avantra
30, the minimum feed and cut amount is 10 inches (25 cm). With the
Avantra 36 and 44 imagesetters, the minimum feed and cut amount is
13.3 inches (34 cm).
Interpage Spacing: The amount of media fed between jobs. For the
Avantra 30, 36, and 44 imagesetters, a minimum interpage gap of 0.6
inches (1.0 cm) is recommended.
When the imagesetter is using a take-up cassette, the actual Interpage
Spacing will be as you have set it from the Feed Amounts Screen, in
the range from 0.0 to 10.0 in. (0 to 99 cm). When the imagesetter is
using the on-line processor, it overrides the amount set for Interpage
Spacing. With tail punches on, the maximum Interpage Spacing is
0.8 in. (2 cm). With tail punches off, the maximum Interpage Spacing
is 8 in. (20 cm).
Supply Alarm Amount: When the amount of media remaining in a
supply cassette is less than this amount, an alarm icon appears.
Take-up Alarm Amount: When the amount of media fed into the
take-up cassette is greater than this amount, an alarm icon appears.
Distance to Punches: Distance from the center of the top punches to
the leading edge of the image.
Plate Overlap: The amount that images overlap when imaging is
being performed on plate material. For more information on using
plate material as the imaging media, see Using Plate Material in the
Media Handling section of this user guide.
