There have been a number of requests from the field, asking the heaters to be on by default for a few user

settings. This has now been implemented as follows:

• For user 1 and user 8 default settings are as follows:

¡ Pre heater A: 50°C

¡ Fixer B: 50°C

¡ Post Fixer C: 50°C

¡ Dryer D: 50°C

• For users 2 è 7, by default the heaters are still OFF.

Notes

Please note some RIP software do not allow selection of the user from software side. In some cases,

however, they do automatically activate user 8.
