3.6 Known Issues
At the time of these release notes going to press, we were aware of the following issues: -

Support for Xaar 64 printheads is not included in this release.
Translation engine does not support 2 bit mode
When Idle spitting with Xaar 318s the data for the first line of each spit image is not correct
The XUSB FPGA Boot command in the toolbar causes XUSB to lock and requires a power reset to
recover.
When utilising the automatic encoder calculation function, the output values are incorrect by a factor
of 2. The workaround is to enter a value that is 2 times the required resolution in the resolution edit
box.
