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 to be printed on can be seen through it.

    If the object is transparent, select Smartphone Cases or Others from the Transparent item in the Object Type window.

  • Opaque: A hand placed on the other side of the object to be printed on 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 Print Origin is set to Origin Relative: The printing area is set from the origin in the lower-right corner (A) to the upper-left corner.

  • When Print Origin is set to Center Relative: The printing area is set with the center of the printing area (A) as the base position.
    MEMO When the Center Relative position is changed, if the printing area is the maximum size (as shown in the following figure), the origin position cannot be changed. Set the printing area, and then change the origin position.
