1.4 Device Setting File
These are device-specific parameter settings.
The setting file is usually attached to the job file downloaded to the device.
Settings can include information such as print darkness levels and date shift rules for
specific products.
The configuration of individual settings depends on the printing conditions required for a
particular job.
The substrate used or the speed required to print a particular job may require modification
of the "equipment" settings.
FC53-Li/FC53-Lc/FC53-Ri/FC53-Rc will be configured accordingly when the “equipment”
setting file is attached to the job.
Device settings can be adjusted from the FC53-Li/FC53-Lc/FC53-Ri/FC53-Rc user interface,
but device settings files can only be created by connecting to Format Designer.
These files can then be saved as "setup" files and attached to specific jobs.
Job
FC53-Li/FC53-Lc/FC53-Ri/FC53-Rc use job files.
"Job" is a combination of "Product Code", "Image Template" and "Device Settings File".
The "Device Settings" file is used to configure the device parameters to meet specific
conditions.
For example:
Job A prints onto polypropylene substrate at a relatively low speed.
Job B prints at a higher print speed on a metalized polypropylene substrate.
The printer (device) settings are different for each job.
In many cases, the job can only require a default image template and default device
settings file.
After the job is downloaded to FC53-Li/FC53-Lc/FC53-Ri/FC53-Rc, the data is stored as
an .xml file and contains a .prt file and a .param file.
The job name is usually the same as the product code, and can be different if necessary.
