Top Gutters — allows you to turn On or Off the gutter data at the top edge of the print, which shows
the job name, ink, media, date and time printed, print mode, lamps setting, printer, embedded
software version, plus write-in blanks for other data.

Quality Check — determines how AutoTune errors are handled (see

AutoTune on page 52

).

Sleep Wait Time — sets the period of time to wait for a print job before going into Sleep mode.

Expert/Novice Messages — Novice mode presents an ATTN (Attention) key with Warnings (alerts
that do not prohibit printing) and Actions (conditions that require user intervention before printing
can proceed). Expert mode presents Actions only, presents fewer “press Proceed” prompts after
an Action has been addressed. The default is Novice mode.

When in Expert mode, active Warnings and Actions can be displayed by selecting Warnings &
Actions from the menu, since Warnings will not cause the ATTN key to appear in Expert mode.

Localization — sets English or Metric units of measure, Time and Date formats, and Vacuum
Pressure Units, for data displayed by the control panel. User interface Language options (select,
delete) are available if the second language option is installed.

Use Thickness Sensor — sets whether to use the automatic media thickness sensor, or to prompt
you to manually enter the thickness.

Use Ionizer Bar — sets whether to use the ionizer bar to reduce the electrostatic charge on synthetic
medias (the default setting is on or enabled). You may want to disable the ionizer in humid
environments where electrostatic charge is not present on the media, or to reduce the wear on the
ionizer's discharge electrodes. The ionizer bar is powered on only during media load, printing, and
when the lamps are on.

Low Ink Warning — defines the amount of ink remaining in the ink box supply at which the printer
will display a “low ink” message on the control panel.

UV Lamps Idle Time — sets the amount of time the lamps will stay on after printing before they are
automatically turned off by the printer. The idle time can be set from 1 to 15 minutes. Increase the
idle time if you are printing several jobs and waiting for the lamps to warm up between prints.
Decrease the idle time if printing single jobs.

Support Rollfed — sets whether the printer supports cut sheet media only, or cut sheet and roll-
fed media.

Rollfed Media Control — if media feed errors occur during roll-fed printing, you can now switch
between Method A (standard media feed parameters) and Method B (alternate parameters) to
correct the media feed.

Use Service Station Float — when enabled, the printer checks the float switch inside the waste ink
reservoir to determine when it needs to be emptied and display a control panel message for the
operator to empty it. When disabled, the printer tracks the amount of ink used during printhead
servicing (purges and primes) to determine when the reservoir should be emptied. This setting is
enabled by default.

Printer Name — displays a keypad to change the printer name displayed on the control panel and
RIP.

Restore All Defaults — restores all Printer Configuration settings to their factory default values.
Printhead calibration values are not reset by this option.
