Free Layout classic not included in TM 350 driver

estebani — Tue, 24 Sep 2024 17:00:42 GMT

I leave this comment here with the hope that it reaches the ears of the people at Canon.
I own several Canon plotters, ipf8000s, ipf8400, TX4000, and recently acquired a TM-350.
I was surprised to discover that this new device stopped including the "classic" free layout option in the driver.
Only the free layout "plus" expansion module is provided.
Even the previous TM-300, as I could see in the online manual, included the "classic" free layout.
My request to Canon is to please include the "classic" free layout again, since it presents greater integration with all the general options of the driver,
such as making it possible to use multiple paper sizes defined and saved by the user , disable the cutting blade, or use advanced color matching options.
Thank you.

Hi estebani,

Thanks for your feedback about the Free Layout Plus software that's provided with the imagePROGRAF TM-350. I have passed along your comments.

I want to add new shortcomings found with print layout plus:

Unable to use "No Spaces at Top or Bottom" driver option to save paper.

Unable to set "unidirectional printing" paper option.

Unable to specify an icm or icc profile color file for paper.

I cant believe Canon choose to eliminate free layout "classic" when free layout "plus" has so many drawbacks..

Please Canon, bring back free layout classic functionallity. Thanks.
