1-1 Features of the Machine

What Is the XC-540?
The XC-540 is a large-format printer equipped with a cutting feature and combining high speed with high print quality.
Not only can it be used either solely for printing or solely for cutting, but it can also perform printing and cutting
consecutively. Also, using the crop-mark feature enables you to cut media that has expanded or contracted due to
dryer heat, and lets you remove media after printing, then load it again and perform cutting, positioning it accurately.
Higher weatherability is achieved through the use of ECO-SOL MAX inks.
Built-in Print Server
This machine has a built-in print server as a network interface. When you use the print server, you can send output
data to the machine from anywhere on the network.
Built-in Drying Systems
This machine has a built-in print heater and preheater to improve ink adhesion and speed up drying. It also has a
drying heater to speed up drying of the media after printing. This enhances productivity by enabling support for more
types of media.
Includes a Media Take-up System
To accommodate printing of lengthy media, the machine includes a media take-up system. This is capable of taking up
media automatically during printing. This makes possible unattended operation at night and efficient output of lengthy
media.
Includes a Software Raster Image Processor (RIP)
The software RIP included with the machine lets you use your computer to perform raster image processing for output
data such as PostScript files exported from a program, and output the data to the machine.
