How to change gap between prints on VJ 1604

[heyskull]

We are using Wasatch RIP on our VJ1604 and contour cutting on a Mutoh Ultima.
If I have printed multiple contour cut files 1 after another their is barely enough space for it to read the registration marks.
Is their a way of making the distance between prints larger?

Many Thanks

In Wasatch under the "Layout" screen, on the left side there is a tab for "Unit Options".
You will see a Gap control setting there with a small window and an up/down button to adjust.

I mean the space in between each print not the spacing inbetween each item on the layout.
As you set a print of, it finishes and the starts another print.

The space between each project?Like making it feed a certain amount prior to next project?

Yes that's what I want to do.
How do you do it?

Thanks

Then I don't think Wasatch will do it the way you want.

However, I think there is a control on the printer itself that will change the advance/feed before each job. If you set it at, say, 4 inches then it will advance/feed 4" before printing. However, I'm not sure which menu key that is listed under on the printer control panel. Hopefully someone (Randya or Stealth Ryder) can chime in with a quick fix for you.

I've been looking, but I don't see anything in the manual for the printer
Perhaps making a 'dummy' print to insert between cut jobs would serve the purpose?

Perhaps in Wasatch in the 'Setup' you can add either a 'Top Margin' or 'Bottom Margin'.
