Alternative Devices |
You can select the output devices to which to apply the load balance. Note
Load balance is a function that, when multiple instances of the same output devices are set in the system, automatically divides the output (download) destinations between the output devices that are ready for processing. A checkbox and device name are displayed for all the same output devices that are registered in the system. When the checkbox is checked, the device is set as the target device for load balance. |

When the data does not match the conditions, the images are created again with the selected plate size. |
14 |
Gripper Height |
This can be set only when [Assume Source Images are Output Ready] is checked. Specify the gripper height area of the plate and place in the available area of the plate using the input image size unchanged. |
15 |
Preserve 0% Characterization |
This is a setting when a flexo device is selected in [Device]. Select whether or not to execute screening with the set value when a density other than 0 is set in the 0% value of the characterisation curve. Check the checkbox to execute screening with the value fixed at 0% for 0% density objects. Clear the checkbox to apply the characterisation curve value to 0% density objects. |

Tile by separation |
When a flexo device is selected in [Device], multiple colour separations can be placed on 1 separation and tiling by separation performed to enable efficient use of media. Check the checkbox to perform tiling by separation. Note
|
31 |
Margin Gap |
Set the margin of separation and spacing for each colour separation when performing tiling by separation. Set the distance of each as follows.
|
32 |
Repeat |
Set how many colour separation sets to create when tiling by separation is performed. If the colour separations do not fit on 1 separation, they are placed on the 2nd and subsequent separations. Note
|
33 |
N-up |
Specify the number up to be placed on 1 separation and perform tiling by separation. Specify the number up to be placed in the fast scan direction and slow scan direction. Note
|
34 |
Plate size |
Specify the size of separation (tiling) for placing of each colour separation, and perform tiling by separation. The number up to be placed in the fast scan direction and slow scan direction is determined automatically by the specified separation size and [Margin] and [Gap] settings. Note
