Select the [Job Control] tab in the [Environments] - [Option] dialog.

Select the [Hyper Job Threading] item.

This sets whether or not to process multiple jobs simultaneously with a single printer.

[OFF]	:	Jobs are not processed simultaneously. Image data importing, ripping, and printing is processed in sequence.
[Level 1]	:	Ripping and printing is processed simultaneously. Up to two jobs can be processed simultaneously.
[Level 2]	:	Image data importing, ripping, and printing is processed simultaneously. Up to three jobs can be processed simultaneously.

Set [Create information for estimating ink consumption].

When creating a job, whether or not the data is created for use to calculate the estimated value can be set in Estimate ink consumption.

Selection item	Job creation time	Estimate processing	Accuracy	Remarks
[Create]	Slow	Fast	Poor
[Automatic]	Slow	Medium	Good	Decision on whether or not to create data depends on the job size and favorite settings.
[Do not create]	Normal	Slow	Good	Data is not created. When the estimate function is used, calculation uses the original image data.

Select or deselect the [Calculate Ink Consumption from riped Data] check box.

Selecting this calculates the ink consumption values and displays them in Properties.

Select or deselect the [Notify ink shortage.] check box.

When either of the following is printed, a warning is displayed indicating insufficient ink for printing based on the calculated value and ink level.
· The [Calculate Ink Consumption from riped Data] check box is selected and the ink consumption has been calculated before printing.
· [Ink Consumption Estimation] has previously been performed.

Printer name
Select the printer for ink level adjustment.

Ink level
Adjust the threshold ink level for warnings, as needed.
The default value varies depending on the model.

Select or deselect the [Lock the job after printing] check box.

Selecting this displays a lock symbol for the job after printing, preventing the settings for that job from being edited or deleted.

Select or deselect the [RL6Plus compatible] check box.

When selected, the processing for the following items will be the same as for RasterLink6Plus.
･ If a flatbed printer is used for composites consisting of continuous special color jobs, these will be combined into separate outputs.
･ When using special color, the same special color over print as RasterLink6Plus is set as the default.

Change [Number of jobs that can be registered] as necessary.

Default: 200, maximum: 1,000
Increasing the number of registered jobs increases the amount of image data displayable on the [Job List] tab. However, it also increases the time taken to display the [Job List] tab after starting up RasterLink7.

Click [OK].

Settings that have been changed will be applied after restarting RasterLink7.

Save execution results to a file

Selecting this check box outputs the execution results in CSV format once printing and cutting are complete if a save destination is set.

In such cases, proceed to Step 3.

Click [Setup].

The file save destination selection dialog appears.

Select the save destination for the output file, then click [Select].

Click [OK].

The following information will be output.
For printing
File name, results, ink consumption results, ripping start time, ripping end time, printing start time, printing end time, number of executions, detailed results

For cutting
File name, results, ink consumption results, cutting pass creation start time, cutting pass creation end time, cutting start time, cutting end time, number of executions, detailed results

Display print length warning

After outputting a specific job, a warning will be displayed when the total print length reaches the specified length. This is displayed and can be set when the following printer is registered:

Printer: UCJV330

Select the printer to be set from [Printer Name].

Select or deselect the [After executing 2.5D printing, display warning according to following print length.] check box.

The print length can be specified when this is selected.

Warning timing

Continuing to wind 2.5D printed media may cause meandering. The warning is intended to alert you about this.

After launching RasterLink7, the start of 2.5D printing on the printer involved is treated as zero, and the warning is displayed before starting printing that will reach the specified length, regardless of the job type.
After the warning is displayed, restarting 2.5D printing counts the print length from zero again.
The print length counter will be reset to zero when RasterLink7 is restarted.

Set the movement when image data for which spot colors are specified is loaded.

[Run when less than]	:	The spot color information is analyzed when the number of spot colors within the image data is smaller than the value set. If the number of spot colors is equal to or greater than the value set, image data is loaded faster since analysis is not performed.
[Run always]	:	The spot color information is always analyzed regardless of the number of spot colors within the image data.

The following restrictions apply to jobs created without executing [Spot color information analysis processing]:

The density of the spot color selected in the color replacement list will not be displayed on the [Color Replacement] screen.

In the input colors, CMYK are all shown as 0% if the selected spot color has been set as a gradation object color.
