Printer Settings - Stratasys K6 Series User Manual

PRINTER SETTINGS

Within the Printer category of the Settings page you can configure a variety of printer functionality preferences.
Note: The printer's date and time settings are not configured within the Settings
page. Instead, this information is configured within the FDM Control Center
application which was installed on your workstation PC as part of the initial
installation and setup process. See
page 21
KEEP PREVIOUS JOB
For privacy reasons, you have the option of choosing whether or not the printer's previous job is stored within
the Job Queue. If you're concerned about other users of your printer seeing what you've built, this setting allows
you to prevent other users from accessing the printer's previous job. When this setting is set to On, the printer
will store it's previous job file making it available for re-selection within the Job Queue. When this setting is set to
Off, the printer's previous job file will be deleted from the Job Queue upon completion of the build. The job's file
will need to be resent to the printer in order to be built again.
To configure this setting, use the slider graphic to turn the setting On and Off as needed; On is selected by
default.

ENABLE PART PLACEMENT
The Enable Part Placement setting gives you the ability to select a job's placement on a build sheet. By default,
single part jobs are built in the center of a build sheet while packs are built according their selected placement
within Control Center. Therefore, when this setting is set to Off, single part jobs will automatically be built in the
center of the build sheet and packs will be built according their selected placement within Control Center. To
configure this setting, use the slider graphic to turn the setting On and Off as needed.

selected placement and start a build.
