Sending Presetting Data via Job Memory Card to the Press
Saving presetting data (area coverage values) to a job memory card and then loading them to the press is suitable for presses with CP2000 and older versions.
Basically we recommend an online connection for sending the presetting data to the press. However, some older press control stations do not have a WPI adapter. In this case, the job memory card saves the presetting data for ink zone control. You can then import the saved values on the press with the job memory card drive.
Note: Remember that you do not get any feedback from your press in this procedure.
