Step & Repeat- Operations

Start step & repeat printing setting

If the [Keep aspect ratio] check box is selected, jobs can be enlarged or reduced while retaining the aspect ratio of the original image.

Select the angle for counter-clockwise rotation in [Rotation] on the [Divide Edit] tab.

Set the origin position

The origin position of the entire job is changed by the [Scan] and [Feed] values set here.

Position in the center (widthwise)

Select the [Arrange in the Center] check box for [Move] on the [Image Edit] tab.

[Type] icon
	[Normal]	:	Arranges using uniform rows and columns.
	[Vertical 1]	:	Arranges by offsetting vertically. An offset amount is added for each column.
	[Vertical 2]	:	Arranges by offsetting vertically. Only even rows are offset.
	[Horizontal 1]	:	Arranges by offsetting horizontally. An offset amount is added for each row.
	[Horizontal 2]	:	Arranges by offsetting horizontally. Only even rows are offset.
	[Sticker Print]	:	Refer to "Set sticker printing (when using a roll-to-roll printer)" Set sticker printing (when using a roll-to-roll printer).

The left-hand input box indicates the numerator, and the right-hand input box indicates the denominator.

When specifying using length
Set [Scan] and [Feed] (maximum 950,000 mm) in [Length].

When specifying by number
Set [Scan] (number of columns) and [Feed] (number of rows) in [Number of Pieces].
The maximum value for number of feed pieces will be 950,000 mm divided by the scaled image feed size.

Margins around original image

The margins surrounding the original images will be deleted when arranging jobs.
Even if margins were intentionally set when the original images were created, these will still be deleted.

Example: When the [Normal] icon is selected and the width is set to 2 and the height is set to 3 with [Number of Pieces]

Difference between preview and actual printing results

Copies when placing cut jobs side by side.

[Total]	:	Sets the number of jobs.
[Width direction]	:	Sets the number of jobs arranged in the width direction.
[Margin]	:	Sets the interval between jobs.
[Roller Margin]	:	Sets the margin on the right side of the media.

For information on the [Margin] and [Roller Margin] values, refer to the operation manual for the cutting plotter being used.

[Reference Line]

Prints a line forming the datum when cutting using a cutting plotter.

Margins may be created around a job if the print data is imported to RasterLink7 using a printer driver. Margins are especially likely to be created if the print media is set larger than the job in the printer driver settings.
If [Margin] is set for [Sticker Print] when there are margins surrounding a job, the margins around the job will be deleted, and the specified margins will be inserted between jobs.
When cutting jobs using a cutting plotter, you must specify whether the left or right register mark should be read first. Using the register mark reference lines enables the register mark read first to be set.

Results of outputting an image using the printer driver

This starts ripping and printing using the same settings as the last time [Execute] was used.
