6.1 Creating and Adding New Jobs
Print jobs are created offline using the CLARiSOFT image design software that runs on a PC.
This is a What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) package that enables you to design the look
and feel of a print image and define the content of special fields such as complex sell by date
calculations.
When the job has been designed using CLARiSOFT, it is saved with a unique job name onto the
PC's disc. Jobs are transferred into the local database by connecting the PC to the printer using an
RS232 or an Ethernet cable.
Alternatively, the printer has the ability to download a 'Job' database directly from a USB device.
Jobs can be created in CLARiSOFT and saved onto a USB device, ready for downloading into the
printer. This removes the need to take a laptop into the production area.
For information on how to create images, refer the online help supplied with CLARiSOFT. For
more information on how to transfer images to the printer, refer the service manual.
Once the jobs are stored in the printer’s local database, the PC may be removed. Jobs are then
selected for printing as described in “Selecting a New Job for Print” on page 6-4.
The printer is supplied with two standard (default) job images:
• Default 4 Line Text
• Default Date Code
You can change the details in these two job images to suit your own needs. Refer “Viewing the
Current Job or Image” on page 6-2 for instructions on how to change an image.
Variable information such as batch codes or sell by dates can be entered by using the on-screen
keypad described in “User Editable Fields” on page 6-6.
