• If multiple Stock Properties attributes or Advanced Stock Setup options are changed, then do the
following:
1. Change only one attribute or option
2. Run test prints
3. Evaluate the sample output
4. If the sample output is acceptable, then change a different attribute or option
5. Repeat the previous steps for evaluating the next attribute or option
• If the sample output is unacceptable after running test prints, do one of the following:
–
Make further adjustments to the attribute or option and run more test prints, or
–
Return the attribute or option to its default value and continue to the next attribute or option
• It is important to remember that any settings used today for a particular attribute or option
cannot achieve the same desired output when used on different day. This is especially relevant if
the room in which the press is located experiences changes in temperature and humidity
• Repeat the procedures continually and test prints for any attribute or option until you achieve
acceptable output prints

times, call your Customer Support Center for assistance
