Margins When printing a multi-sheet N-UP job, the image positioned horizontally (left-right) as defined under the menu option: Printer Settings > Margin Settings > Margins. Using the camera to locate the sheets The on-carriage camera (digital imaging sensor) is used to locate the position of each sheet as part of the load process. You can set the printer camera to either "measure all sheets" or "measure the first sheet only:" ● Measure all sheets - each sheet in every row of sheets will be measured, and reported to the server. This aids in accurate placement of edge-to-edge images. In this mode, use of the alignment pins is unnecessary. ● Measure first sheet only - only the first row is measured, and those measurements are used for all subsequent rows. Use the alignment pins to locate the sheets in subsequent rows. This speeds throughput by eliminating the measurement step for each row. "Incomplete" rows You can print any number of copies in a multi-sheet N-UP job, even if the total number does not divide evenly into the number of sheets per row. Only the last row may have a different number of sheets. For example: in a twenty-sheet job, you might be able to fit three sheets in each row, so you might print six rows of three sheets, plus one row of two sheets (6x3=18, 1x2=2, 18+2=20). If the last row is a partial row, load the sheets from the user end toward the service end. Stored jobs Whenever the printer receives a sheet-fed print job from the RIP, the job is automatically stored in the printer's memory, on a rotating first-in-first-out (FIFO) basis. You can "lock" a job to prevent it from being rotated out, but this reduces the amount of memory available for subsequent jobs to be saved. You can also save a stored job without printing it until you do so from the control panel. The printer can store up to ten jobs, with a total area of approximately 2.49 x 2.49 m (98 x 98 in). Jobs RIPed at 600 x 300 dpi will take less memory to store than jobs RIPed at 600 x 600 dpi. If power is removed or the printer is restarted, these jobs are lost from the printer memory. If a job is too large to be saved, it is simply discarded from memory after printing. If a complete print job has been received from the RIP and you pause or cancel the print, it will still appear in the Stored Jobs listing. Stored Jobs can be viewed and managed from the control panel. The Front Page screen shows the following summary of the stored jobs on the printer: ● Number of jobs stored and locked ● Available area for storage - the area (size) of new print jobs that can be saved in the printer's memory. Previously-stored, unlocked jobs will be deleted to make room for new jobs. Locking a stored job reduces the Available space. ● Free area for storage - the Available area minus the area of jobs that are currently stored in the printer memory. This is the largest job that can be stored without deleting previously stored jobs. To print or manage Stored Jobs: 1. Press the Stored Jobs key on the Front Page screen. 22 Chapter 2 Printing ENWW

Margins
When printing a multi-sheet N-UP job, the image positioned horizontally (left-right) as defined under the
menu option:
Printer Settings > Margin Settings > Margins.
Using the camera to locate the sheets
The on-carriage camera (digital imaging sensor) is used to locate the position of each sheet as part of
the load process. You can set the printer camera to either "measure all sheets" or "measure the first
sheet only:"
●
Measure all sheets — each sheet in every row of sheets will be measured, and reported to the
server. This aids in accurate placement of edge-to-edge images. In this mode, use of the alignment
pins is unnecessary.
●
Measure first sheet only — only the first row is measured, and those measurements are used for
all subsequent rows. Use the alignment pins to locate the sheets in subsequent rows. This speeds
throughput by eliminating the measurement step for each row.
“Incomplete” rows
You can print any number of copies in a multi-sheet N-UP job, even if the total number does not divide
evenly into the number of sheets per row. Only the last row may have a different number of sheets.
For example: in a twenty-sheet job, you might be able to fit three sheets in each row, so you might print
six rows of three sheets, plus one row of two sheets (6x3=18, 1x2=2, 18+2=20). If the last row is a partial
row, load the sheets from the user end toward the service end.
Stored jobs
Whenever the printer receives a sheet-fed print job from the RIP, the job is automatically stored in the
printer’s memory, on a rotating first-in-first-out (FIFO) basis. You can “lock” a job to prevent it from being
rotated out, but this reduces the amount of memory available for subsequent jobs to be saved. You can
also save a stored job without printing it until you do so from the control panel.
The printer can store up to ten jobs, with a total area of approximately 2.49 x 2.49 m (98 x 98 in). Jobs
RIPed at 600 x 300 dpi will take less memory to store than jobs RIPed at 600 x 600 dpi. If power is
removed or the printer is restarted, these jobs are lost from the printer memory.
If a job is too large to be saved, it is simply discarded from memory after printing. If a complete print job
has been received from the RIP and you pause or cancel the print, it will still appear in the Stored Jobs
listing.
Stored Jobs can be viewed and managed from the control panel. The Front Page screen shows the
following summary of the stored jobs on the printer:
●
Number of jobs stored and locked
●
Available area for storage — the area (size) of new print jobs that can be saved in the printer’s
memory. Previously-stored, unlocked jobs will be deleted to make room for new jobs. Locking a
stored job reduces the Available space.
●
Free area for storage — the Available area minus the area of jobs that are currently stored in the
printer memory. This is the largest job that can be stored without deleting previously stored jobs.
