5.6 Printer Control Software (PCS) 

Printer Control Software (

PCS

) is used to control basic day to day functions of the printer such as Print Modes, 

Nozzle checks and cleaning modes, as well as automated standby functions and Purge/Wipe/Cap station (PWC) 
controls. 

PCS Startup

 

Double click on the 

PCS

 desktop icon to open the program.  

IMPORTANT

: The i-Image S printer must be powered up before the PCS is opened so the software can 

connect and interact. 

The main Printer Control window displays all the current settings and print modes. The menu bar on the right side 
of the screen is used for Nozzle Checks and Cleaning Modes when needed. 

PCS Settings

 

Media Setting

 (1): Indicates the screen width that is being processed. It can also be overridden by the ripped file 

settings. 

Printer Setting

 (2): Indicates Number of Passes, Speed and print modes. This is described in detail in the 

Print 

Mode Settings 

section of this manual. The i-Image S is 12+ low speed bi-directional only. 

Origin Setting

 (3): The Job origin settings dictate where the image position starts on both X and Y Axes. 

Typically both origins are set at Zero and image placement is based off templates from the art department. 

The 

Origin for Calibration

 (4) is used when printing Nozzle checks giving the operator control over the Nozzle 

Check placement. 

Cleaning Setting

 (5): Is factory set to clean when the machine is idle or during start up after a given time period. 

Typically the 

Clean while printing

 is left unselected or 

OFF

. 

Spitting Setting

 (6): The PCS sends a signal every 30 seconds (interval time setting) for the printhead to fire or 

spit ink through the nozzle plate when 

While idle

 is selected. This ensures the nozzle ports stay open and free of 

air pockets. 

During printing

 is left unselected.
