Modifying Overlap Settings - Gerber EDGE FX Owner's Manual

Modifying Overlap settings

The Overlap setting determines how many pixels (between 5 and 25) the GERBER EDGE FX
overlaps when it resumes printing after a job is paused. The Overlap setting is changed using
the System Settings page of the web interface. The default overlap setting is 15 pixels.
The Overlap setting is machine-dependent so it is important to determine the proper setting
before attempting to use it when printing. Too much overlap may not produce desirable
appearance and too little overlap will cause a white line to run through the job. The following
technique helps you to determine the best setting for your GERBER EDGE FX.
To determine the proper Overlap setting
1 Send a ten inch, one color job to the GERBER EDGE FX.
2 Allow the printer to print approximately five inches and then press F1, ONLINE to
pause the job.
3 Press F1, ONLINE again to restart the job uses the default overlap of 15 pixels.
4 Examine the job; if the overlap setting produces acceptable results, you are finished. If
not, continue with this procedure to adjust the overlap.
5 Open the GERBER EDGE FX web interface by entering the printer's IP address in the
Location or Address line of your web browser (for example: http://169.254.128.129).
The Welcome to GERBER EDGE FX screen displays.
6 Click the System Settings link to open to System Settings page.
7 Enter an Overlap setting between 5 and 25 pixels. Enter a higher setting if you have
white lines in the print. Enter a lower setting if the overlap is too obvious.
8 Click Change Settings to apply the new Overlap value to the GERBER EDGE FX.
9 Repeat steps 1 through 4 and continue to adjust the Overlap setting if required.
Note: If you have changed the Overlap value and then restore factory default settings, the
Overlap value will return to 15 pixels. You will need to reset the Overlap value.
