SECTION 3
OPERATING THE PRINTER
Oversize – Select this box to enable "full bleed" printing (printing off all edges of media).
When "oversize" is selected the "custom media size" you define is increased by 0.13" in
width and height; without affecting the values shown in the "Custom Media Size" screen.
IMPORTANT! In order to take advantage of this feature; the image you send must be
slightly larger (normally1/8" wider and higher) then the "custom media size" you
defined.
Full Bleed Example:
"Custom media size" defined as 5" W x 7" H and "oversize" selected. Media being fed
measures 5" W x 7" H. Image being sent measures 5.125 W x 7.125 H.
Full Bleed Tips:
To avoid image expansion/distortion, please be sure to set/check the following:
- Layout Tab. "Resizing" should be set to "Original Size".
- Adobe Acrobat. Select "Actual size" under "Page Sizing and Handling" in the Print
box.
You may also need to make changes to the "left adjustment" and "top adjustment"
features, located in the "Layout Tab"; to align the image with the media, so it bleeds
equally off all edges of the media.
Borderless Print – When using an image that is the exact same size as the media, this
o
option can be selected to expand the image (21 dots in height and width); to help achieve
"full-bleed" printing (printing off all edges of the media).
NOTE: If you want to do "full-bleed" printing but don't want the image
expanded/distorted; please use the "Oversize" feature; as defined under "Custom Sizes"
above.
Color Selection – Select from Color, Composite Black or Black Only.
o
Color: Selection provides full color printing using all five ink channels (CMYKK).
o
Composite Black: Selection uses all five ink channels (CMYKK), to generate the darkest
black print possible; for the selected print quality. Color images are printed in "grayscale".
Black Only: Selection uses only the native "K" (black) ink channels to print.
o
Images printed with this selection will be "gray" in color. This is the "native" "K"
(black) ink color. If you want a darker black, please select "Composite Black".
Color images are printed in "grayscale" using only the "K" (black) ink channels.
NOTE: Even if you select "Black Only" the system will still use a small amount of
color ink (CMY) when performing head purge and head maintenance sequences. All
Ink Tanks (CMYKK) must be installed and recognized as having ink available, or
the printer will NOT function.
Print Quality – Select Normal or Best.
o
Normal provides 1600 x 800 dpi at 12 ips (inches per second).
If you also select the Half Speed, box; media transport and printing is slowed to 6 ips, for
higher print accuracy.
o
Best provides 1600 x 1600 dpi, at 6 ips. Use when high quality images are required.
NOTE: The "Half Speed" selection is not available in the "Best" print quality mode.
My Print Settings – Allows you to save or recall your custom Driver settings for various jobs.
