*1 Print Direction
GT-541's Uni-Directional print is only available in one design type (arp file). In GT-782, you can set Uni-Directional by printer driver when the printer menu is "AUTO". You can also fix Uni-Directional/Bi-Directional print with this menu. You can see icon on the panel when the print data in GT-782 is going to print Uni-Directionally.
*2 Whole Update
Use when the firmware should be upgraded with a CompactFlash.
*3 Auto Power-Off
From enviromental point of view, the GT-782 can turn itself off when it is left unused. When the power is OFF, only ERROR LED is on. Turn OFF and ON the power switch for recovery. Default is zero.
*4 Auto Job Delete
Print data is deleted after the preset number of prints are done. Default is OFF.
*5 White Retrieval
To keep the white ink white, select this to collect the white ink inside the tubes back into the ink cartridge. It takes 5 minutes (300 seconds) to finish. Do this before shaking the ink cartridge or tube cleaning to save white ink.
*6 Load White
After collecting the white ink into ink cartridge, white ink must be loaded again. This menu is available for mixing the ink inside the tubes with ink inside the cartridge and refill the tube again. This menu is available when the white ink is "low" but pay attention to the print quality. Click here for more information.
Do not use this menu when the tube is really empty, e.g. after tube cleaning. Do Initial Cleaning instead.
*7 Tube Cleaning
Tube Cleaning for CMYK is simply three times of Initial Cleaning and mainly for the service engineer.
Tube Cleaning for White is for weekly maintenance to wash away the sinking pigments inside the tubes and Print Heads. It takes about 20 minutes per one print head. A warning "Clean Tube W1 (-W4)" is indicated on the right control panel after a week passes.
