June 30, 2011

Note: To use the 720x360 or 720x360 Variable modes firmware must be 1.05 or newer.

To launch the printer properties for this driver, choose 'Setup' from the 'Print' menu, then select Mutoh ValueJet in the 'Printer Model' list, click on the 'Edit' button, and then click on 'Properties'.

Print Mode:

Print Mode: Select the ink type and printing resolution.
Quality Mode: This sets the quality settings, such as pass count, print direction (bidirectional or unidirectional), head speed, and variable dot size (only when a variable dot print mode is selected).
Dot Size: Select the type of dot, variable or fixed.
Wave Effect: Select the wave pattern used during printing.
Scan Width: Choose if the print head should travel only the distance of the print or the width of the media
Over Print: Feature prints over the printed area the selected number of times. For example, if 2 is selected, the amount of ink laid down is double. The maximum value is 9.
Time Between Passes: feature allows you to set the amount of time (in seconds) between each pass.
Use Front Panel Media Setting: Allows the print to select one of its predefined front panel Media Settings, without having to switch the front panel over to this media setting on the front panel.

Color Separations:

The color separations controls are located on the second tab.

The Color Separations controls are the same as those of other printers, and are only available if a monochrome mode has been selected on the Print Mode tab.

Separations on RIP: This will cause the RIP to separate the image into CMYK plates.
Make Negative: This inverts monochrome images when printed.
K, C, M, Y: This allows you to print monochrome images to any of the printheads. This is especially useful to eliminate overuse of a single printhead when printing only monochrome.
