Setup Wizard Printer Configuration Screen

Copal Dye-Sub Printer Options:

  • Debug Mode: The default setting is false. This should only be set to true for troubleshooting.
  • Time Out Seconds: The default setting is 120 seconds. This value should not be changed.
  • Printer ID: The ID as shown on the LED display of the printer itself.
  • Color Ribbon Size: Use the drop-down menu to select the ribbon size that is loaded in the printer.
  • Print Smaller Prints: If the *Color Ribbon Size option is setup for 6x9, and you want to use this printer to also print 4x6s, set this option to True. This is not as fast as 4x6s using the windows driver, but it will work. It will also cost more per print as well.
  • Use Color Correction: To manually apply color correction to all prints, set to True. (Default is False).Change the Sharpness, Brightness, Contrast, Saturation, Red Balance, Green Balance, and Blue Balance as desired.

If more than one printer is connected, repeat the above steps, for Printer Settings 2 but change the Printer ID on the printer and in the Setup Wizard, so it is a different ID from the other printer.

**Note: Make sure to account for all products, not just the print products. For example, 8x10 Prints, 8x10 Greeting Cards and 8x10 Wall Art are considered to be three unique products by the APM software. Therefore, each will need to be assigned to the printer and configured in a printer interface. Failing to account for an offered product will cause orders to fail.
