4-6 Register New Material
How to Register Wide Variety of Material
METAZAStudio includes preregistered material of four shapes. To print material not registered in METAZAStu-
dio, first register it as a new material. This prevents the printing area from being limited and the marking
pins from being damaged as the result of hitting the edge of material.
The following three methods are available for registering material. For detailed information about the
procedures, refer to the online help for METAZAStudio.

Importing a bitmap image
If an image of the material is available, you can import the image. Note, however, that only bitmap data can
be used. Other requirements are as follows.
File format : Must be either BMP (bitmap) or JPEG
Number of colors : Binary (black and white — portions corresponding to the material must be
black-filled)
Scanning the material with a commercially available scanner
When no image of the material is available, or the shape of the material is complex, you can scan the mate-
rial on a commercially available scanner and import the image produced. In this regards, the requirements
are as follows.
Scanner : Scanner that supports TWAIN_32.
Number of colors : Binary (black and white — portions corresponding to the material must be
black-filled)
Drawing the shape of the material
If the material is a square, circle, or other such simple shape, either singly or in combination, you can use
the drawing tools to draw the shape of the material, then register it.
