• Overlap: determines the width of the overlap areas—that is,
the edges that contain equal image data on two adjacent
panels.
Large, heavy panels will need wider overlap and gluing areas
than smaller panels.
• Glue Marks: small gray arrows are printed on the panel’s
edges to help guide you when you connect the panels.
The glue marks will hardly be distinguishable in your large
copy. The arrows vary in size: the larger the Overlap width, the
larger the arrows printed. Maximum arrow size is 1" high.
• Tiling: allows you to determine the length of your panels.
Your sections will be connected both horizontally and
vertically. Tiling is useful for single sheet printing but can also
be used if you want to make small sections on rolls. With tiling
turned off, the panel is output continuously on the printer from
the image’s top to its bottom. Each panel becomes as long as
the image itself and the panels only have to be connected at
the sides.
• Length: set the length of your tiles if tiling is used.
assembling the panels
The strips or tiles representing sections of a whole image need to be
connected. Unless you have a huge table, it would be best to
arrange your sections on the floor in their correct order.
If you selected the Glue Marks option, the scanner software will
have made your job easier by printing the following guide markings
on the panels:
the cut line
A line will be printed on the left side of panels that are to be joined
with their left neighbor—that is, every panel but the first (leftmost)
panel in a row.
Use a sharp knife, scissors, or other cutting device to cut on the right
edge of the line (to remove the line itself). The cutting line will be
placed in the middle of the overlap area, so slight irregular cuts can
be tolerated since cutout image data will be picked up in the
overlap area of the neighboring panel.
