Settings (Making Settings on the PC-600)

You can make the settings for the following item on the PC-600 itself. Make these settings as required.

Auto sheet cut : When this is enabled, the material is separated from the roll when a material-cutting command is sent.

Auto-sleep : This sets the interval after which the PC-600 goes to sleep when there is no operation of data processing. When the

machine goes to sleep, it enters the power-saving mode. The POWER LED flashes at this time.

To cancel the sleep state, send some data or press any key on the operation panel.

Front edge sense : This detects the front edge of the material. Setting this to [ENABLE] adds detection to the setup operations.

Because printing or cutting starts only after detecting the edge of the material, is detected, the amount of wasted

material can be reduced.

Blade offset : This sets the amount of offset for the tip of the blade. The amount of blade offset is the length from the centerline of

the blade to the blade tip.

The amount of offset varies according to the blade.

Crop marks : This prints crop marks on the material.

This is handy when you want to remove a piece of material after printing, laminate it, then load it again to perform

cutting.

* You can also make the setting for printing crop marks using the PC-600 driver. If the setting for enabling or

disabling crop marks has been made using the driver, the driver setting determines whether crop marks are printed.

If you're using Roland COLORCHOICE

, make the settings on the PC-600. The settings for this item cannot be

made on Roland COLORCHOICE

Prefeed mode : This feeds the material forward and backward before printing or cutting.

This lets you make sure ahead of time that the material can be fed correctly during printing or cutting. It also makes

material feed more stable by placing grit-roller tracks on the material in advance.

Beep (warning sound for the ink-ribbon cartridges)

: This switches the warning bell for the ink-ribbon cartridges on or off.

* You can also make the setting for turning the warning beep on or off using the PC-600 driver. When the setting has

been made using the driver, the driver setting determines whether the warning beep is on or off.

If you're using Roland COLORCHOICE

, make the settings on the PC-600. The settings for this item cannot be

made on Roland COLORCHOICE

Ribbon Saver : When empty data for 70 mm (2-13/16 in.) or more in the direction of carriage movement is sent, the portion is output

without winding the ink ribbons, making the most economical use of the ink ribbons.

When this is on, images with junctions between bands that are slightly visible may be printed. If image quality is a

priority, switch this off.

* You can also screwdriver for turning Ribbon Saver on or off using the PC-600 driver. When the setting has been

made using the driver, the driver setting determines whether Ribbon Saver is on or off.

If you're using Roland COLORCHOICE

, make the settings on the PC-600. The settings for this item cannot be
