DC5 User’s Manual
Detailed Operation 4-3
4.2 Printer Menu
This menu bundles all the printer settings of the DC5(sx). All settings in this section are user-
dependent (information is contained within each of the sixteen individual user settings, see
section 2.1.4.).
4.2.1 Density
This is the first parameter that has to be set if a new type of media is loaded in the printer.
All calibrations and settings of any other parameter will not be usable if this parameter is
not set correctly first. The setting of this parameter is explained in section 2.2.
4.2.2 Double density
Double density is a special printing mode. This mode enables the DC5(sx) to print on a
much wider range of materials. Press the Double Density button and set it off or on.
Press to confirm or to cancel.
4.2.3 Calibrate linefeed
The calibrate linefeed test is used to calibrate the media feed. It is advised to do this test
each time a vinyl roll is replaced. This test is fully automatic. It is explained in section 2.3.
4.2.4 Scratchguard
The option Scratchguard makes it possible to put a layer of protective coating on the
printed images. Press the Scratchguard button and set it off or on.
Press to confirm or to cancel.
4.2.5 OptiTrac color
The DC5(sx) prints and measures small lines, located at each side of the print, to optimize
the tracking performance. The color of these lines can be changed within this menu. Make
sure to use colors that are in contrast with the vinyl color. The menu option to change the
color is useful when printing monochrome or on colored vinyl. The default value for white
vinyl is cyan.
If white, gold or silver is chosen as OptiTrac color, then the DC5(sx) will raise the head
between the left and right OptiTrac mark if the color is not used automatically. Changing
the OptiTrac color is explained in section 2.3).
