Follow the procedure below if you want to configure the default printer control settings applied when you print or cut the selected media on your printer.

  1. Click .

    The display of the window changes.
  2. Configure the Media Settings.
    For the items below, apply the settings that are recommended for the media.
    These settings are applied when you select Use Default Media Settings with Printer Controls in the Queue Properties window or the Job Settings window. For the setting method, see Configuring the Printer Control Settings.
    • Overprint
      • Select this to perform overprinting.
    • Feed Calibration
      • Enter the media feed calibration value that is appropriate for the selected media. To enter this value, the feed calibration value must be measured on the printer. For information on how to measure the feed calibration, refer to the instruction manual of your printer.
    • Change Calibration For All Models
      • Only when there are series models (for example, the SOLJET PRO2V series), you can change the feed calibration value when using the selected media with another series model.
    • Vacuum Power
      • Set the intensity of the vacuum that holds the media flat on the platen.
    • Dry Time
      • Set the time (in minutes) to wait before printing the next page or cutting.
    • Head Height
      • Set the height of the print head.
    • Heater Controls
      • Configure the temperature settings of the preheater, print heater, and dryer. Clearing these options will set the default settings to off when printing. The devices that can be set vary depending on the printer.

    Clearing this check box disables Cut Controls in the Queue Properties window and the Job Settings window, which makes it impossible to set cutting.
