Options tab

In the Queue Properties dialog, the Printer Op-

tions tab provides access to printer-speciﬁc op-

tions within the print mode. ese printer-spe-

ciﬁc options are deﬁned within the print mode,

such as plane order, knife speed, etc. Please note

that these options vary according to the printer

model. For more information about these set-

tings, please consult the operator manual that

was provided with the printer.

Previewing Print Data - View Raw Data

Print data can be examined on-screen prior to printing. is is typically done in order to conﬁrm

the print data that is available in each color channel.

For example, suppose that a gray-

scale image needs to be printed,

and the expectation is that only the

black (K) channel will receive print

data. is can be conﬁrmed in the

following manner:

1) Click the Stop Queue but-

ton to pause the grayscale-

only print job in the queue.

2) Right-click the job and

choose RIP Only. When

the job has ﬁnished spool-

ing, its Status will indicate

“Holding [Job spooled]”

4) Right-click the job and choose View RAW data.

5) Click the Plane Select button. Each of the color channel checkboxes will be

checked.

6) Untick the Black checkbox. e preview should now be blank because the

CMY channels are not being sent data for a grayscale-only job.

Note: Colors appear diﬀerently on monitors than they appear when printed. As a result, the View Raw Data

feature will not show colors on the screen exactly as they will appear when printed.
