HP FlexJet E, StudioJet manual Clean, Quality, Set Origin

24 Ioline FlexJet E User Guide

iNote

Apparel design software usually refers to the origin as “lower left” because it is the lower left corner of a marker. Because the plot is usually oriented as shown in Figure 5, it is physically on the right side of the printer.

Clean

Runs the print heads through a cleaning cycle in the Service Station. Put the printer in STOP mode and wait until the OK light turns red. Then press the Clean button. If the carriage is not already parked,

it will return to the Service Station. After auto cleaning, the printer will react differently when you put it in green light (START) mode, depending on what it was doing just prior to the cleaning:

Printer state before auto cleaning—e.g.	Printer reaction when put in
what the printer is doing just before it is put	START mode after auto cleaning
in STOP (red light) mode
Printing in START mode (OK light is green)	Resumes printing
Idle in START mode (OK light is green)	Stays parked and capped.
Idle, in STOP mode (OK light is red)	Stays parked and capped.

Quality

Switches between the Best—or dark (600 dpi)—line mode and Draft mode (300 dpi), which prints lighter and consumes less ink. You can change line quality while the printer is printing.

Set Origin

The Set Origin key sets the initial origin or starting position for the marker. It’s best to always set a new origin point after cycling power. To set a new origin, press Start/Stop until the OK light turns red (STOP mode). Use the Arrow keys to move the carriage so that the white marker is positioned over the desired starting point. Press the Set Origin key. The OK light will turn green, indicating the printer is ready to accept plot files. (See Figure 14.)

Origin Marker

Figure 14. The Set Origin key sets the marker origin point directly below the top of the white origin marker on the carriage base—located on the right side.
