1.2 Additional Functions
1.2.1 White Skip
If large empty space occurs at left and right sides in the horizontal direction or in the vertical direction, the printer will automatically skip the empty space during printing and prints non-empty area to save time. To use this function, check "White skip” in the toolbar.
1.2.2 Continue Function
Printing may be interrupted due to various reasons and perhaps half of an image has been printed. In this case, you can right-click the file and select “Continue” from the menu. The printer will continue printing the file from the position where the printing is interrupted last time to facilitate jointing in the later stage.
