Epson Paper Saving Mode (Roll Only)

Monday, April 13th, 2009

With its newest driver epson has added a great feature that is extremely usefull to all ImageNest users.   The new feature will automatically remove any extra “White Space” from a page.  This will allow customers to use one page size for almost all thier work.  So no more switching page sizes or making extra custom page sizes for different Job.  For example.  If you have a 24 inch by 50 inch layout and only 14 inches worth of images to print,  the Epson Paper saving mode will stop printing and automatically cut after the 14 inches even though the page size was 50 inches long    Here is how it works:

1:   Select a canned page size that is specified as “banner.   If you are making a custom page size you can choose “Banner” in step 2.  A new dialog will be available in this situation.

Step 2:  When printer with ImageNest double check the print dialog to make sure all the settings are correct.  If you created a custom page size you will have an additional dialog next to the phrase “Page Setup”  In this dialog make sure that you choose “Roll Paper – Banner”.  Only this setting will allow you to automatically remove any white area.

Step 3:  Roll Paper Settings:   The “Print Settings” tab can be pulled down to revel the “Roll paper settings”  Make sure the box labled “Save Roll Paper” is checked.  You also have options for cutting but “normal is recomended.

Once all the settings have been made they can easily be saved as a pre-set and used again.   This method of printing greatly enhances the funtionality of the ImageNest Software RIP
