The integrated sliding clutch generates mechanical resistance against
the direction of roll rotation. This tensions the medium and ensures
that it is drawn in straight.

channels into a media family. Each media family is clearly identified by an
ID number (Family ID). If a job is transferred from the RIP server to the
corresponding input queue of the printer, it provides its ID number right away,
thus indicating the media family to which it belongs. If you select the media
channel for a job in the input queue, the software only offers you those media
channels that are part of the media family of the job for pre-selection.

UV Curing Options
Under UV Curing Options, you set the power of UV lamps for curing the
printed medium. Durst recommends setting the power as low as necessary.
If the power level is too high, sensitive media can yellow or stretch. For this
reason, it may be necessary to not carry out full curing so as to protect the
medium.
Media Transport Specifications
Encoder Offset: If the advance causes striping during printing, you can enter
an encoder offset value. This value is added to or subtracted from the global
encoder offset value (Setup > General tab).
Feeding Offset: When feeding heavy plate media, an offset can arise if the
suction pressure of the plate medium does not hold the plate medium to the
conveyor belt sufficiently. This offset can be compensated for by entering a
value in the Feeding Offset entry box.
Feeding Offset: If you are loading a plate medium with rounded corners,
the optical sensor may detect the edge of the medium too late. This will
result in a printing offset. You can compensate for this offset by entering a
correction value.
4.4 Standard settings for jobs
You can predefine default settings for jobs on the Print Options and

Oversize).

Rip image larger than the dimensions of the printing table and cut to size in
input queue on the Size sub-tab with Crop To Board(→ Page 58 / Image
section).
In both cases, negative media borders must be set in the media channel to
ensure that the medium is printed up to the border.
The first option (define oversize) has the following disadvantage: If an error
was made when preparing the image and the last few pixels at the image
border are white, white pixels are cloned. There is no visible effect in this case.
The second option (rip image larger and cut to size) is less susceptible to
error for this reason.
