Printer Menus
Using the Setup Menu (continued)
9. Pre-Purge
Use this option to keep the print heads from drying out and to clear the inkjet nozzles automatically while oper- ating the printer.
A. Purge at Start
If you have long breaks of twenty seconds or more before starting another batch of records, this option will purge on the first piece before printing the records.
B. Periodic Purge
This option will activate the periodic purge.
C. Purge Interval
This option will purge the ink cartridges at timed in- tervals on a piece. Set the time to determine when to purge the ink cartridges. The printer will pause for a few seconds after the purge pattern is printed. Each timed interval begins from the last purge print pattern. This item can be set from 020 to 240 seconds.
D. Nozzle Keep Alive
This option will randomly purge the individual nozzles of the print cartridges to keep the ink from clogging the nozzles and to create a virtually invisible pattern of dots on the media. The printer will continually purge except when another pre- purge is pending and while the re- cords are being printed.
