Object (Media) Registration Items

Set the following items to set up the object.

Object Type

Select from Transparent or Opaque. For colored transparent objects, select based on the following criteria.

  • Transparent: A hand placed on the other side of the object can be seen through it.

    If the object is transparent, select Smartphone Cases or Others from the items in the Transparentpull-down menu in the Object Type window.

  • Opaque: A hand placed on the other side of the object cannot be seen through it.
IMPORTANT The Transparent and Opaque selections affect automatic maintenance. The standard setting Transparent requires more frequent maintenance*1 to protect the print heads than Opaque, and therefore consumes more ink. Proper selection of Transparent/Opaque can reduce ink consumption and prevent poor printing quality.

Flat table height

Set the printing position in the height direction.

Print Origin

Set the point that will serve as the base printing position. Select one of the following.
  • Origin Relative: Sets the lower-right corner of the printing area as the base printing position.
  • Center Relative: Sets the center of the printing area as the base printing position.

Printing Area

IMPORTANT The printing area should be set after the flat table height is set. Attempting to set the printing area first may result in the object coming into contact with the head gap sensor, which may damage the head gap sensor.
Specify the area in which to print. There are two ways to set the area depending on the print origin.
  • When Origin Relative is set for Print Origin: If you specify the lower right corner (A) of the preview window in Utility, the space between the end point (B)*2 is set as the printing area.

  • When Center Relative is set for Print Origin: The maximum printing area is set around the center of the printable area (S: 105 mm [4.13 in.], F: 74 mm [2.91 in.]).
    MEMO When changing the Center Relative position, narrow the printing area before changing the position. Then specify the printing area according to the print data.
