Performance FeaturesEase-Of-Use Features

The printer has many advanced features to help you produce the best printed output with the least effort.

◆AutoSet Calibration — uses a high-resolution digital imag- ing sensor to automatically align printheads in the x-y directions and bidirectionally for precise positioning of ink jet pixels, also compensates for lost or misfiring jets by using substitute jets without slowing printing speed.

◆AutoTune — can run AutoSet at user-defined intervals, for highest quality during unattended printing. Optionally, if print quality falls below a user-defined level, printing stops until the problem is corrected.

◆Onboard linearization — uses the onboard photodiode to linearize output over the entire density range (with print server or RIP support).

◆Integrated heated dryer — dries output as it prints. Option- ally, the dryer fan may be turned off to avoid streaking on poly and film media.

◆Humidity sensor — slows printing in high humidity condi- tions to ensure drying, and alerts the user when the ambi- ent humidity is outside of optimal range.

◆Modular ink delivery system — the ink system consists of three components—ink reservoir, ink tube, printhead—each of which can be replaced independently of the others as needed.

◆Tilt-upprint-head carriage — printhead carriage tilts up for easy access to the ink tubes, printheads, and image sensors.

◆Manual priming system — recovers clogged ink jets without removing the printhead from the printer.

◆Manual air purging system — recovers printheads that are disabled due to too much air being introduced.

◆Integrated bidirectional takeup system — takes up printed output onto a spool for extended unattended printing. Out- put may be wound image-side out or image-side in.

◆Media width sensing — automatically detects the width and position of the media loaded, for precise image placement.

◆Simplified control panel interface — Front Page screen pre- sents frequently-used functions, with recommended preset configurations. A menu provides access to less-frequently used functions and troubleshooting help.
