AGFA Printer manual Printing an image, Preparing an image, Preparing the Anapurna

12. Printing an image.

12.1. Preparing an image

First you need to install and configure the Wasatch RIP. (Read the Wasatch Manual on how to)

Configure the “output” folder in Wasatch to “c:\rtl” on the Anapurna PC.

Now you need to prepare the image file in the Wasatch RIP. (Read the Wasatch Manual on how to)

At the RIP level, you’ll already need to determine, the # of passes (speed) you want the image to be printed out at, later on the Anapurna.

If you should RIP an image for a 6 pass output, and on the Anapurna, you print it at 8 pass, it will result in an un-proportionally scaled printout.

12.2.Preparing the :Anapurna

1)The carriage must be moved to the home position first.

Always make sure there is NO media or obstructions on the conveyor belt when you move the carriage to the home position.

2)Place/load the media (rigid/flexible) onto the front side of the belt, turn on the vacuum. (white lamp on tower => vacuum is on)

3)Load the correct setup file (e.g.: s-1250_2mm_flex.dat)

4)Perform a Set Gap. (See chapter 10)

5)Perform a Jet Test:

Place an A4 size paper, onto your media, or if you’ve loaded a flexible media, you can immediately do it on that surface. (See chapter 8.1)

6)Position your rigid media, by means of the register pins on the backside. (blue light on tower => register pins are down)

If you have loaded a flexible media, it’s still present from step 2.

7)The :Anapurna is now ready for printing.
