Installing output devices
OMEGA allows you to install the following types of output devices:
♦ Plotters
♦ Vinyl printers
♦ Ink jet printers
See Getting Stared with OMEGA Software or OMEGA Help for complete instructions on installing
equipment.
Opening files for printing and cutting
After you have selected an output device, open the file to be printed or cut.
The File command opens SPL files for cutting or printing directly from Gerber Queue Manager.
This saves time because the SPL file has already been rendered (which can be very time
consuming).
When you click File, there are two choices in the drop-down menu:
♦ Open & Print, which is used to send a job to a vinyl printer.
♦ Open & Cut, which is used to send a job to the plotter.
To send a job to a vinyl printer
1 In the GQMgr workspace, select File > Open and Print to open the Select a Spool File
dialog box.
2 Browse the list of directories to find the spool file to be opened and then select that file.
3 Click Open. The file will appear in the GQMgr work space under the selected output
device.
