As the ribbon and print media pass simultaneously beneath the Printhead, thousands of thermal elements within the Printhead melt the colored inks, thus transferring thousands of tiny colored dots from the ribbon onto the print media. If using a paneled ribbon, the print media automatically makes a separate pass for each colored panel on the ribbon.

A. INTRODUCTION As you may already know from reading Section 1, your digital press is able to produce a variety of output by using a variety of different print ribbons. Each of these ribbons is unique, and each requires its own compatible print media. To make it easy for you to remember which ribbons are to be used with which print media and which type of output each set of print supplies will produce, the print supplies are divided into three separate categories.
Page 25
Each ribbon has a length of 105 meters, which allows you to print up to 200 sheets worth of output. The maximum printable area for these ribbons is 11.71Ó x 17.3Ó (297 x 439mm). All #100-Series ribbons must be used only in conjunction with the #100-Series plain paper label stock which is distinguished by a GREEN-and-WHITE package cover sheet (see Part E of this section for more print media information).
Take-up End Once the ribbon is installed into the Ribbon Cartridge, it can then be placed into the printer. See Part D of this section for instructions on inserting a loaded Ribbon Cartridge into the printer. Supply...

Before you can print with the digital press you must first install in Windows what is called a Òprinter driver.Ó The printer driver is simply software which gives the digital press the proper commands it needs in order to print. Use the following steps to install the printer driver into Windows 95/98.
Page 43
Printers folder, and press the Delete key. A message may appear saying, ÒSome files were used only for this printer and are no longer needed. Would you like to delete these files now?Ó If you have PrimaColor and/or the 32-Bit Print Spooler installed, select NO.
Spooler. Once installed, the print spooler is able to process your print jobs and send them to the printer at consistently faster speeds than if sending print jobs through the system spooler of Windows. The 32-Bit Print Spooler also allows your computer to display helpful prompts if an error occurs during operation.
Page 45
To print with the 32-Bit Print Spooler, you must select the Fast 32-bit Spooler option from within the printer driver setup window (see Part D for further printer driver setup information). When this option is selected, the 32-Bit Print Spooler will automatically open and close with the start and finish of each print job.
The Job Queue tab appears only when a print job is being sent to the printer. This tab tells you the name and status of each job in the queue and shows you the order in which the jobs will print if you have sent multiple jobs to the printer.

The appropriate self test will automatically print according to the Ribbon Type option you have selected in the printer driver setup.
Installing and Using the PressPrint Software for Windows 95/98 A. ABOUT PRESSPRINT PressPrint for Windows 95/98 is a software application program specifically designed for use with your digital press. This program is sold separately but is required in order for the digital press to both print and cut images. PressPrint is primarily intended to be used as a type of print utility program in which images created through other software applications can be imported, contoured for cutting, duplicated, and sent to the digital press for production.
Continue button to load all of your current system fonts into PressPrint. This is necessary in order for PressPrint to recognize your system fonts. Once installed, the PressPrint folder, shown below, will appear in the Programs group of the Start menu. Select the PressPrint icon to open PressPrint. If PressPrintÕs Installer Program does not automatically open when the CD is inserted into your computerÕs CD drive, refer to the following steps to install PressPrint:...
Enter the custom values noted on the sheet labeled ÒCutter SettingsÓ or on the printerÕs rear panel label, and select OK. The Pressure option controls the overall cut pressure applied by the cutter. Once entered, this setting should not need to be changed. Instead, when adjusting for the various types of print media, use only the Cutting Pressure slide on the front of the unit.
Digital Label and Decal Press 2 UserÕs Manual The Y Offset dictates the position of the cut line along a fixed vertical axis and is measured in thousandths of an inch from the top of the page to the top edge of the first cut line.
Page 58
After opening PressPrint, select Import from the File menu. The Import File window appears. Select the file you would like to import.

Page 62
Digital Label Press 2 Setup Once all appropriate printer settings have been chosen, select OK to close the setup window. Select OK from the Printing window to send your print job. Before the digital press actually starts printing, the print job must be processed or rasterized.
F. HELPFUL PRESSPRINT HINTS Importing Files PressPrint accepts a wide variety of file types. These file types are listed and can be selected through PressPrintÕs Import window. When importing files created through other programs, be sure the file you are importing is one of the file types listed in the import window.
Be sure to name your file with the appropriate file extension to indicate the type of file you are saving it as. For example, if exporting your image as an EPS file it should named ÒFilename.epsÓ. For a TIFF file, name it ÒFilename.tifÓ. Or, for a JPEG file, call it ÒFilename.jpgÓ.
Purge Undo Another option which will enhance the speed of PressPrint is the Purge Undo option of the Edit menu. Selecting this option from time to time will clear the memory of PressPrintÕs Undo feature, thereby freeing up more memory for PressPrintÕs more immediate functions.
Rotating Images to Maximize Space In order to fit as many labels on a page as possible, you may sometimes wish to rotate images so they can be placed closer together. To rotate an image, select both the image and its cut line. Then, select Rotate from the Layout menu. The Rotate window appears.
To use this alternate method, simply import an image and duplicate one page worth of labels. Then, send that single page to the printer with the 32-Bit Print SpoolerÕs Save last job for reprint option selected. After the first page is finished printing, open the 32-Bit Spooler and select the Print button.
