Tell me about Edit Preferences (HP Designjet 10ps or 20ps)

 

The Preferences option of the Edit menu...

Preferences allows access to default settings, including what to do with files after output, and specify the units of measurement. These preferences, in conjunction with Default Settings, form the default print settings. Default print settings are applied to any job that is added using the Add Job command. Settings in Preferences are overridden when you print from a design application (for example, Adobe Illustrator®).

  • CPSI Scratch Directory [Macintosh Only]
  • This is the location used to store information during processing. If you have multiple drives, you can use the Browse button to relocate the Scratch directory to the drive with the most storage space. Doing this will allow you to process larger files without generating memory errors.

  • After Output
  • Tells the HP Designjet 10ps or 20ps software what to do with the job after it has finished printing, either Hold or Delete.

  • Units
  • Select the desired unit of measurement.

  • Enable simultaneous RIPing and printing
  • The system prints while RIPing.

  • Responsiveness [Macintosh only]
  • This bar allows you to specify how the balance of the Macintosh computing power is to be shared between the software RIP and other programs. Move the bar to the right to give more resources to the RIP to improve its response time, or to the left to give more to other applications.

Note: The print head may pause for a while between the passes when using fast print modes, or when a complex file is processed, when you select simultaneous RIP and print. This may cause some banding in the output.
