Plate Handling

Extended Image Option

Note:  Customers will be charged for this upgrade, and it is not supported by the Trendsetter VLF Autoloader (except in manual mode).

• Kit: 518-00405B  DWG
• Procedure: Installing 81.5" Plate Guides
• ECO: CA02367

The upgrade requires MPE firmware 2.02. Contact Al Edge for details.

Plate Size Upgrade

The Trendsetter VLF model number defines the speed of the machine and the maximum plate size. Changing the maximum plate size is a chargeable upgrade. There are no parts required for the upgrade, only the config model parameter is changed in the device. To do that:

1. If Print Console is running, close it.
2. Reset the device.
3. When the device finishes startup, type >>config "password" "model".
   The password is the configuration password obtained from Product Support and must be entered within 4 minutes of a reset. The model is the code obtained from the table in section 4.1 in the document Installing 81.5" Plate Guides. For example, "TV428" is a 2.8-speed 5467 TSVLF.

To obtain the configuration password, contact Al Edge.
