3.3.2 Service mode of printer driver

There are certain printer driver control functions as service mode. These service

mode functions, which must be used with caution, are provided for service purposes only.

Procedure

1)Open the printer driver control dialog box.

2)Select "Custom Setting" while pressing down the shift key to open the custom setting dialog box. The dialog box contains the normal and service mode control settings.

3)Change the parameter of the appropriate setting. (The item is ON when a check mark appears in the checkbox.)

Settings

a) Pause scan

This setting specifies whether the carriage pauses between scans (the horizontal travel of the carriage) during printing.

It takes ink longer to dry on transparencies and other special papers than on plain paper, and there is therefore a risk under certain ambient conditions of a drop in print quality. If the pause is set ON under such circumstances, the ink has a chance to dry between scans. However, printing takes much longer.

b) Economy cleaning (skip first power-on cleaning)

This setting determines if cleaning is performed when the power is first turned on after the power is connected.

"OFF": First power-on cleaning performed (default)

"ON": First power-on cleaning not performed

If the AC power supply is frequently disconnected (such as when the printer is linked to a computer’s power supply), setting economy cleaning ON reduces ink consumption and minimizes the startup time by omitting the first power-on cleaning. When economy cleaning is set ON, the power-on cleaning using the 72- hour timer is also omitted, and there is a serious risk of a drop in print quality if the printer is left unused for a relatively long time.

c) Ink-out detection

This setting determines if the ink out detection function is on or off. "ON": Ink out detection function on (default)

"OFF": Ink out detection function off

Make sure the ink out detection function is on unless dealing with a user who does not want this function or you are checking for malfunctions in the detection system.
