2.3 Smoothing Function

The BJC-7100 has two methods of smoothing black print data.

The printer driver can convert 600 × 600dpi data into data equivalent to 1200dpi (h) × 600dpi (v). The printer itself can also convert 300 × 300dpi data into data equivalent to 600 × 600dpi.

2.4Print Optimization Controls

2.4.1Power monitor

When, due to high-duty printing, etc., the total head drive power exceeds the power supply capacity, the consumption is automatically reduced.

2.4.2 Head sticking prevention

To prevent ink mist dispersion caused by high-duty printing, a one pass-worth of data is splitted and printed as a 2 pass data.

2.4.3 Ink smear prevention

Printed pages ejected from the printer dry naturally in the paper output tray. If, before a page has dried, the next printed page is ejected onto it, there is a risk that the ink on the first page will be smeared.

When printing high-density images, etc., the BJC-7100 pauses the carriage between printing scans and/or delays the ejection of the printed page, to prevent smearing.
