If necessary, prints are rotated 90 ° to make better use of the available media. The autoposition feature helps eliminate the need to clip prints and reduces media waste.

  • Page 104: Media Saver Time-Out

    Media saver time-out As explained in the previous section, when the media saver queue is full, the drawings are printed. However, to prevent unnecessary delays for prints in partially filled queues, a time-out of 1 to 60 minutes can be set, after which the contents of the queue are printed.
