Designing CU pictures
The CU pictures are designed using the OBJ INKdraw software. Please see OBJ INKdraw manual
for help on installing.
Concept of CU objects vs background
In a CU image, you have both fixed and variable content. The fixed content has no limitation, which
means that you can design using any font size and have all the barcodes available.
On top of the fixed content, you place the variable content (CU objects). You have some limitations
on the number of variable objects, and also in the content and fonts of these. Please see below.
As long as you are designing your picture in OBJ INKdraw, you can change both the background
and variable content. Once you compile the CU file (save it to compact flash drive as a CU file),
you can only edit the variable objects, on the CU unit itself.
Start a CU picture
To start a CU picture, choose File->New on the menu, or click the "New File" icon. You will be
presented with a menu where you select the file type.

Select "Head type".
Notice that you can not mix HP, Xaar
128, and Xaar 500 heads. Also notice
that your unit is designed for one
specific head type.

Add the heads as necessary with the
