AutoJet

AutoJet detects individual inkjets that are misfiring or not firing at all. During subsequent printing, the printer compensates for these jets by using other jets in their place, ensuring maximum print quality without reducing print speed.

You can also identify and map missing jets manually from the Manual Calibrations menu (see Manual Jet Mapping on page 50). You may want to manually map weak or misdirected jets that AutoJet does not detect and substitute.

Jet replacement is not available in Express mode. To run AutoJet:

●Select AutoJet Calibration from the Auto Calibrations menu (see Auto calibrations on page 46), or

TIP: AutoJet does not work with transparent media, nor with many translucent media. In this case, run Manual Jet Mapping, or map jets on opaque media before loading transparent/translucent media for printing.

1.Press Calibrate from the Printing page, then press Auto Calibrations > AutoJet Calibration in the menu.

2.The printer prints the AutoJet test pattern.

3.The printer reads the AutoJet test pattern and maps any missing jets to available working jets.
