Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a RJ-6000 Series (RJ-6000-43, RJ-6000-54, RJ6000-62) Full-color Inkjet Printer.

This RJ-6000 Series is a full-color inkjet printer equipped with 360 dpi, 720 dpi and simulated 1440 dpi resolution, that supports Centronics (bi-directional parallel interface, IEEE1284 compatible, with Nibble and ECP modes) and, optionally, Ethernet interfaces.

This User Guide deals with printer installation and operation methods as well as usage precautions. In order to use the printer safely and effectively, please read the User Guide carefully before you use the printer and then use it correctly.

Keep the manual beside the printer. It is sure to be useful in case something that you are not sure about should occur while you are using the printer.

IMPORTANT

RJ-6000 Series USER GUIDE Functions Edition

Understanding the Functions

Command Settings

Name of Function

Command

This specifies the commands and conditions that are transferred from the computer. The following commands are supported:

•RTL-PASS:

•MH-GL, GL2 (MH-RTL): Mutoh MH-GL/MH-GL/2 (MH-RTL)

commands (conform to HewlettPackard HP-GL, HP-GL/2 (HP-RTL) commands)

•MH-GL2 (MH-RTL): Mutoh MH-GL/2 (MH-RTL) commands

(conform to Hewlett-Packard HP-GL/2 (HP-RTL) commands)

(MH-GL, GL2 printing unit is 0.025 mm)

Plot Area

This specifies environmental functions for the printer. It specifies the printing area (hardclip area) for the media size.

•Normal: Specifies the standard printing area for RJ-6000

Series printers

Distance from edges of media:

Cut sheet - Front 25 mm, Back 20 mm, Sides 10 mm Roll media - Front 25 mm, Back 20 mm, Sides 10 mm

•Expanded: Specifies a printing range for the RJ-6000 printer

that is interchangeable with Mutoh XP Series pen

plotters. However, since the maximum printing range is 1351.6 mm for a 54-inch printer and 1554.8 mm for a 62-inch printer, if expanded mode is specified with media wider than 1361.6 mm for a 54-inch printer, or 1564.8 mm for a 62-inch printer, the left and right margin shown below will be differed.

Distance from edges of media:

Cut sheet - Front 25 mm, Back 20 mm, Sides 5 mm

Roll media - Front 25 mm, Back 20 mm, Sides 5 mm (media width 54 inch: 1361.6 mm or less, 62 inch: 1564.8 mm or less)

•LL: The initial position is at the lower left of the hardclip.

•Full: The initial position is at the lower left of the media.

Terminator

In the case of MH-GL, GL2 (MH-RTL) and MH-GL/2 (MH-RTL), this specifies a function that is different from the original command function as the terminator with respect to some commands in each of the printer's command modes.

•Normal: Only the original command is used

•Special: Recognizes end of data as the terminator SP0; (SP;)

Resolution

In the case of MH-GL, GL2 (MH-RTL) and MH-GL/2 (MH-RTL), this specifies the resolution for image data in MH-RTL commands.

•300 dpi: Sets image data resolution to 300 dpi

•360 dpi: Sets image data resolution to 360 dpi

•720 dpi: Sets image data resolution to 720 dpi

Online Timer

When online data is broken off, this specifies a certain period of time, the elapsing of which is taken to be the end of image data.

•Online timeout: Off, 10 sec, 20 sec, 30 sec, 40 sec, 50 sec, 60 sec, 90 sec, 120 sec, 150 sec, 180 sec, 210 sec then in 30-sec increments to 720 sec, 750 sec, 780 sec, 800 sec.

Overwrite

This specifies functions related to the printer's own environment. Specifies the method for controlling the overwritten portions of a diagram.

•Last: Overwritten portion takes a color to be printed later

•Mix: Overwritten portion takes mixed colors

Ink Dry Time

Ink drying times differ according to the type of media. After the printing is finished, roll media is cut off and falls into the ejected media basket. If the ink is not yet dry, the media will be soiled. Ink drying time is the delay to allow the ink to dry between the end of printing and the cutting of the roll media.

•Ink drying time: 0 sec, 5 sec, 10 sec, 20 sec, 30 sec, 40 sec,

50 sec, 60 sec, 90 sec, 120 sec, 150 sec, 180 sec, 210 sec, 240 sec, 270 sec, 300 sec, 6M, 7M, 8M, 9M, 10M, 15M, 20M, 25M, 30M, 35M, 40M, 45M, 50M, 55M, 60M.

Halftone

This specifies the method for expressing pseudo-halftone processing of MH-GL/2 (vector) data or unbinarized MH-RTL (raster) data.

•Speed diffusion: Rapid expression of tones with an

error diffusion matrix

•Quality diffusion: High quality expression of tones by

mean error minimization

•Thin diffusion: Try this if the data was prepared for

another brand of printer and high speed diffusion appears too dense.

CMY -> Black

Specifies whether black is to be expressed by CMY (mixture) or K. In graphic language mode, it appears as follows:

Yes No

RTL-PASS Black must be K ink CMY black may be

mixed with K

MH-GL/MH-GL2 Black must be K ink Black must be CMY

Direction

In a case where data is to be printed on roll media, this function specifies whether the layout of the image on the media is to be based on the size of the data including spaces or only on the area that will actually be printed.

•Command: If a command specifying page size is contained in

the data, media size will be judged from that command.

•MAX-MIN: The maximum and minimum values of the data

determine the size of media that will contain that data, regardless of origin coordinates or page size commands, and the layout matches the center of the area to the center of the media.

Cut Position

This function specifies where the roll media will be cut in accordance with the specified layout of the printing.

•Data: Cuts the media at the position determined

after adding a margin at the rear edge of the page size specified by command or the printing area prescribed by max-min in layout.

•Standard: Cuts to the smallest standard size in the

same series as the loaded media that will accommodate the printing area determined by layout.
