39. Margin Adjustment for Auto Reduce/Enlarge

Illustration of available on both RP-GL and RP-GL/2

Specify the margin on the edges of the paper used for Auto Reduce/Enlarge in increments of 1 mm within the following range:

  • ±50 mm

Default: 0 mm

This setting is valid when either "Auto 1: Reduce/Enlarge (+Rotate)" or "Auto 2: Reduce/Enlarge Only" is selected for "29. Auto Reduce/Enlarge" or if "Auto 2 (L&S Edge) + Auto R/E Ratio: Paper Size Set." is selected for "43. Method to Select Paper Input Automatically".

The way that the area near the paper edge is handled differs between GL and GL/2 modes.

  • In GL mode:

    When a positive value is specified, the width of the margin is determined by subtracting the specified value from the point that is derived by shifting 10 mm inward from the position specified in "23. Printable Area (Hard Clip)".

    The value of "48. Margin Adjustment for Original Size" becomes effective when printing drawing in at the real size using "43. Method to Select Paper Input Automatically".

  • Mode 2: Original Size & Auto Reduce/Enlarge

    The value of "48. Margin Adjustment for Original Size" becomes effective when selecting a paper input location automatically via "Mode 1: Original Size", and also when auto scaling is performed. Auto scaling applies when either of the following conditions is met:

    "Auto 1: Reduce/Enlarge (+Rotate)" or "Auto 2: Reduce/Enlarge Only" is selected in "29. Auto Reduce/Enlarge".

    "Auto 2 (L&S Edge) + Auto R/E Ratio: Paper Size Set." is selected in "43. Method to Select Paper Input Automatically" and automatic reduction/enlargement is performed.

Default: Mode 1: Original Size

Note

  • The difference in line widths may become unrecognizable when dots are added to the lines width.

S14. No Paper for Auto Select Paper Input

Specify whether or not to include the paper input location without paper as the input location to be searched automatically by "43. Method to Select Paper Input Automatically".

If this print setting is set to "0: Do not Include", you can automatically exclude paper input location that are out of paper from the input location to be searched, and force print from a input location that has paper. In such a case, the data is printed on paper that is one size larger than the print data.

  • 0: Do not Include

    The paper input location is only selected from those with paper loaded.

  • 1: Include

    The paper input location is also selected from those without paper loaded.

Default: 1: Include

S19. Fine Length Adjustment for Custom Size Print

This print setting is useful if the bottom edge of the drawing data appears cropped or faded when "43. Method to Select Paper Input Automatically" is set to "Orig. Size Determined + Auto R/E Ratio: Correct Value" and "47. Method to Determine Original Size" is set to "Entire Image".

  • 0: None

    Printing is performed in the custom-sized length calculated according to the settings for the RPGL Menu.

  • 1: Add 1 mm (Feed Direction)

    Printing is performed for the length derived by adding 1 mm to the custom-sized length calculated according to the settings for the RPGL Menu. Using this function, you can prevent the bottom edge of the drawing data from being cropped due to the effect of unit conversion when the paper is the same size as the drawing data.

Default: 1: Add 1 mm (Feed Direction)

Note

  • Selecting "1: Add 1 mm (Feed Direction)" increases the frame size, and it may affect the billing counter as a result.

  • When "1: Add 1 mm (Feed Direction)" is selected the value derived by adding 1 mm is printed as "Custom Size" in the Settings List (RPGL).

  • This function does not apply if the calculated length exceeds the maximum custom-sized length.

S21. Priority for Auto Select Paper Input

Specify whether or not to give priority to the paper set status (Paper Input with Paper) or the paper orientation when "Auto 2: Long Edge and Short Edge", "Auto 2 (L&S Edge) + Auto R/E Ratio: Paper Size Set.", or "Orig. Size Determined + Auto R/E Ratio: Correct Value" is selected in "43. Method to Select Paper Input Automatically".

  • 1: Paper Input with Paper

    Gives priority to the paper set status.

  • 2: Paper Orientation

    Gives priority to the paper orientation.

Default: 1: Paper Input with Paper

S22. Default Transparency Mode (TR Command)

Specify the default of the transparency mode select (TR) command. When a value is specified in the received command, the value in the command is given priority.

If "Entire Image" is specified in "47. Method to Determine Original Size", and "0: Off" is selected in this print setting, the machine determines the original size including the lines drawn in white (pen density: 0%).

  • 0: Off

    Determines the original size including the lines drawn in white (pen density: 0%).

  • 1: On

    Determines the original side excluding the lines drawn in white (pen density: 0%).

Default: 1: On

Note

  • This print setting is effective when "41. Merge Control" is set to "Superimpose".

  • Depending on the print data, this print setting may become effective regardless of the setting specified in "41. Merge Control".

  • If the print data contains the TR command, the command is given priority over the print settings.

S23. Line Cap for GL Mode

Specify how the line caps are rendered.

If dotted or dashed lines of wide width in a drawing appear as solid lines when printed, use this print settings to specify how the line ends are rendered.
