Queue Prior-
ity
Allows you to assign a value between 1 (min) and 10 (max) to a job. You can add the job to the
queue according to this value.
Plotter print-
ing speed (%)
Set the percentage of printing speed to 100, 75, 50, or 25 percent. These values correspond to print
head speeds of 2 m/s, 1.5 m/s, 1 m/s, and 0.5 m/s respectively.
Line thickness
Set the Print line width from 1 (thin) to 5 (thick). If you use Preserve original file thickness, Print
line width is ignored.
File separa-
tion
File separation is the size of the gap between print jobs.
Margin op-
tions
File separation
File separation indicates the separation between prints.
It can be introduced in both mm and inches.
Paper size Paper size can be set in either mm or inches.
Margin to not allow split Set a distance below which splits are not allowed.

Advanced op-
tions
Unidirectional print Unidirectional print results in the jobs being printed in one direction only.
Automatic rotate
Automatic rotate automatically rotates a job if needed to optimize the
amount of paper required.
This example is of a job spliced into two different sections. You do not need to cut the first section, as this takes up
the entire width of the paper. The second section prints with a cut line, as it is less than the width of the paper. After
the second section is cut, it can be joined up with the first section, ensuring that the leading edges of the triangles are
touching. There is a small amount of overlap.
First section. Second section.
