Due to the larger table size and the vacuum zone arrangement of the Arizona 6160/6170 XTS Mark II printer, it is possible to print in an alternating 2-up arrangement using Origin A and Origin B for placement of the image.
Dual Origin is used to print more than one copy of a specific print job on media not larger than 1.25 x 2.5 meters (4 x 8 feet). This allows greater productivity when printing multiple panels.
If the dimensions of your image are not greater than 1.25 x 2.5 meters (4 x 8 feet), the Dual Origin option is available from the Job parameters menu.
NOTE
It is also possible to select Dual Origin in the ONYX workflow application. In Layout preview, the Preferred Origin field can be selected from a pull-down menu with the choices Origin A, Origin B, or Dual Origin Mode. If you don't select Dual Origin it can still be made active after the job is sent to the print job queue, as explained below.
NOTE
When Dual Origin is selected, a scaled view of the image appears on the screen preview in Zone A and a bounding box that represents the image appears in Zone B. Both images are displayed at their respective origin points. If you move the primary image in Zone A to a new origin (enter new offsets), both images will then print from that changed relative origin point. The red cross-hatched area is a reminder that it is not possible to print in the Center zone when dual origin is selected.
NOTE
The printer will not print in Zone B if the vacuum is not On. It will display "Waiting for Table Vacuum" and wait in the Center Zone until the vacuum is On and then will also require that you press the Start button. The vacuum must be cycled Off and then On again in alternating zones before the next print will begin while Dual Origin is enabled.
NOTE
The green arrows show the order in which images are printed in Zones A & B when Dual Origin was selected.
