About the Migration Tool

Function
This tool can migrate RasterLink6Plus and RasterLink7 jobs to the same/subsequent models.

Cases that can be migrated

• Migration of RasterLink6Plus jobs to the same model in RasterLink7
  Example: RasterLink6Plus job for UJF-3042MkII → Migration to RasterLink7 job for UJF-3042MkII

• Migration of RasterLink7 jobs to the same model in RasterLink7
  Example: RasterLink7 job for UJF-3042MkII → Migration to RasterLink7 job for UJF-3042MkII

• In this case, jobs can usually be migrated by using the backup/restore function, but if multiple printers with the same conditions are registered, the migrate destination is limited to the forehand printer.
  Therefore, use this tool instead of the backup/restore function if multiple printers with the same conditions are registered and the destination printer is to be selected.

• Migration of RasterLink6Plus jobs to the subsequent model in RasterLink7
  Example: RasterLink7 job for UJF-3042MkII → Migration to RasterLink7 job for UJF-3042MkII e

• Migration of RasterLink7 jobs to the subsequent model in RasterLink7
  Example: RasterLink7 job for UJF-3042MkII → Migration to RasterLink7 job for UJF-3042MkII e

To migrate to the same model
To migrate to the same model, set the ink set/special color set to the same settings.

To migrate to the subsequent model
To migrate to the subsequent model, the following conditions should be satisfied:

• Model: The same series name (CJV, JV, UJF, etc.) should be used.
• Ink set: The same color set*1 should be used.
• Special color set: Should be the same.
  • 1. CMYK and BMYK are considered different color sets. No ink type is required.

About terms

• Color set: Refers to color settings for CMYK/CMYKLcLm, etc.
• Special color set: Refers to a combination setting of special color inks for WW/WCl, etc.
• Ink type: Refers to ink types for LH-100/LUS-120, etc.

   • The [Open] window appears.

4. Select the job file backed up in Step 1.

   • Only one file can be selected.
   • Migration starts and the progress status window appears.

5. Select the device to be migrated to.

   • If you select a device cannot be migrated to, a dialog appears indicating the reason why.

6. Migrate profiles using the following operations depending on the migration conditions.

7. Migrate to a device of the same model/ink set.

  * If the same profile has not been installed at the destination, it will be installed automatically.
  * If a preset with the same name has already been installed, a dialog appears confirming whether or not to install by overwriting.  

Once each profile is selected, information will be displayed, check and click ” Overwrite” if necessary for overwriting.

2.  **Migrate to a device of the different model/ink set.**
  * The device profile should be changed. Select on the selection window displayed.![Mimaki-D203563-14-Migration-Tool-Raster-Link7- \(9\)](https://manuals.plus/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Mimaki-D203563-14-Migration-Tool-Raster-Link7-9.jpg)
  *  **About special purpose profiles**  

If a special purpose profile with the following conditions is set in the backup file, select a profile for the same application.
[Profile name] Clear base printing, primer base printing, clear gloss printing
[Profile type] Metallic color

7. Migrate various file migrations after job creation by operating as follows depending on the migration conditions.
8. Migrate to a device of the same model/ink set.

  * Migrate all files set in the job. When a RasterLink6Plus job is migrated, the following preset names will be migrated with “RL6_” prefixed to the original RasterLink6Plus names. Color adjustment, Color matching, Device adjustment
2.  **Migrate to a device of the different model/ink set.**
  * The following presets will not be migrated. Color adjustment, device adjustment
  * Color replacement information will be migrated, but check the tone of the colors after migration because the model/ink set is different.
  * For flatbed printers, the following presets are migrated with the original board size.  

Print area, Jig layout
For this reason, check the layout settings after migration when the board size is different between the two models.

8. Click [OK] once the migration is complete.
   • The window closes.
9. If you wish to migrate multiple jobs, repeat steps 1 to 4.
10. Click [Finish].

Make sure there is at least the amount of free space indicated by [Required free space].

The job cannot be migrated because it exceeds the maximum number of registered jobs (1000).

Number of jobs in backup file: *

Delete the job from RasterLink7 before performing the migration process.

| •   The maximum number of jobs that can be registered in RasterLink7 is 1000 for all devices combined.

Delete some of the jobs until you can register jobs as many as the number indicated by [Number of jobs in backup file].

The device corresponding to the backup file is not registered.

This backup file is for the following printer:

| •   Register the printer/special color device indicated in RasterLink7.
Can’t install the device profile for the following job. Please set again after migration.

Job: *****

| •   Check the profile settings of the corresponding job in RasterLink7 after migration.
Can’t extract the specified backup file.| •   The backup file may be corrupted. Make a new backup file in RasterLink6Plus.

•   If this error occurs again even after remaking the backup file, reinstall the migration tool.

•   If this error persists even after performing the above procedure, contact your local distributor, our sales office, or service center.

An error occurred during creating the job.| •   Quit the migration tool, launch RasterLink7, then check whether a job can be created. If a job cannot be created, reinstall RasterLink7.
