◆Side Gutters — sets the side gutter pattern to narrow, medium, or wide sizes, or disables them. Side gutter pat- terns help keep the ink jets open by firing ink through them in a pattern outside the printed image area.

◆Takeup Direction — sets the direction of the takeup motor for Image Inside or Image Outside takeup.

◆Takeup Control — enables and disables the takeup system.

◆Platen Vacuum Control — turns on the vacuum fans, then allows you to raise or lower the speed of the vacuum fans. Raise the speed if the media is rising off the platen, lower the speed if the media is buckling or wrinkling.
