AutoJet

AutoJet detects individual ink jets 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 4-15). You may want to manually map weak or misdirected jets that AutoJet does not detect and substitute.

To run AutoJet:

Press the AutoJet button on the control panel Front Page screen (see page 2-9), or

Select AutoJet Calibration from the Auto Calibrations menu (see “Auto Calibrations” on page 4-7), or

Run AutoJet automatically with the AutoTune scheduler (see “Calibration Summary” on page 4-22)

Note AutoJet does not work with transparent media, nor with many translucent media. In this case, run Man- ual Jet Mapping.

1.Press the AutoJet button from the Front Page screen or select AutoJet from the Auto Calibrations menu.

The printer asks whether you want the service station to per- form a Purge-n-Wipe operation. By recovering clogged printheads, you reduce the number of jet substitutions required.

Press ! to initiate a Purge-n-Wipe. The printheads are purged, then wiped.

Press ( to skip the Purge-n-Wipe.

2.The printer prints the AutoJet test pattern.

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

The control panel shows the progress of this operation as the percentage completed.

4.The printer prints an AutoJet report.

Where the report shows a head with some jets not replaced, you can manually map them out (see page 4-15).
