Build Queue
The Build Queue provides you with an overview of print jobs queued in your printer.
Front Panel
The front panel allows you to view in real time what your printer is doing.
It can also act as a remote control allowing you to control the printer from the comfort of your desk.
Settings
In the settings tab you can view your printer’s build extents hide certain menu features.
This is a handy feature in a production environment if no settings are to be changed without autorisation.
Asiga does not advise modifying the build extents without supervision from an authorised reseller or Asiga. Changing the build extents will cause loss of accuracy!
Service mode
Service mode allows Service Technicians access to Printer calibration menu’s.
Service mode will automatically turn off when the printer is restarted.
It is not advised to turn on Service mode without supervision from an autorised reseller or Asiga.
System information
System information provides you with operational information on your printer like printer name and printer uptime.
The most important function of this tab is access to all the printer logs.
The following logs are available:
– Debug Information
– Error log
– Buildlog
– Printer ini
These logs are very important for any technical support request as they will provide our Asiga technicians with invaluable technical information specific to your printer.
To download the logs, please right click and “save as”.
