Resolution
The Horizontal and Vertical menus offer a list of the resolutions supported by the
printer. Choose resolutions that satisfy your desire for speed of output (lower
resolution) or quality (higher resolution).
Note: If you use a profile based on a specific resolution, ensure the resolution
matches.
Calibration
You can select a calibration profile or calibration set from the
Calibration list in
the
Calibration & Dot Gain section (See Section 1.5 on page 18 for details of the
supplied calibration profiles.)
In RIP v.5.x the selection of a calibration profile or calibration set includes a
default color setup, unless you choose an alternative from the
Color menu. Note
that if you choose an alternative color setup, ensure that it is suitable for the
paper type, ink and resolution.
In the Eclipse Release or later of the Harlequin RIP, the selection of a profile
from the
ProofReady menu includes a default calibration profile. Set Calibration
to
(None) if you wish to use the default calibration profile. For optimum results
you can choose a calibration set that has been generated for the actual printer
rather than for a reference printer. See “Calibrating the printer” on page 40 for
details.
Page Layout
The margins and centering options control where the imaged job appears on the
media. There is a small unimageable margin around the edge of the media,
which varies according to the printer model. Refer to your printer documenta-
tion for details. The positioning of the job is also different for roll and sheet-fed
devices.
Roll-fed When the device is roll-fed, the page defined by the job is
located at the top-left of the sheet, unless you set a non-zero
Left Margin or select the Center page on Media Width check
box. You can also set both top and bottom margins. If you
increase the
Bottom Margin (BM) on a roll-fed device this
adds space to the bottom of the page.
