Dual-roll printing If two rolls have been loaded and the dual-roll checkbox has been checked when loading, the following window appears: The main difference is that there are now two queues, one per roll. Jobs sent to roll 1 will be seen in the first queue, and jobs sent to roll 2 in the second queue. When printing, jobs with the same resolution and print mode are printed at the same time (one on each roll). You can see in the preview how they will be processed. You can move from one queue to another by clicking the and icons. If you click the order. icon, the jobs are automatically arranged to minimize substrate waste without altering the The closed padlock icon indicates jobs that cannot be moved when you click the icon.

Dual-roll printing

If two rolls have been loaded and the dual-roll checkbox has been checked when loading, the following window

appears:

The main diﬀerence is that there are now two queues, one per roll. Jobs sent to roll 1 will be seen in the ﬁrst

queue, and jobs sent to roll 2 in the second queue.

When printing, jobs with the same resolution and print mode are printed at the same time (one on each roll). You

can see in the preview how they will be processed.

You can move from one queue to another by clicking the

and

icons.

If you click the

icon, the jobs are automatically arranged to minimize substrate waste without altering the

order.

The closed padlock icon indicates jobs that cannot be moved when you click the

icon. The closed padlock

appears when a manual update to the job has been made. To lock or unlock a job, just click the padlock.
