Performance and Ease-of-Use

Media Wizard — stores and recalls a set of operating param- eters by media type and print mode, for optimal printing performance. Includes a set of predefined settings for stan- dard media; user may add settings for other media.

Speed/quality print modes — multiple print modes and res- olutions provided to meet job and customer requirements for speed and quality.

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.

User assistance — control panel features online help, interac- tive procedures, and diagnostics to assist the user “on-the- fly,” reducing training and troubleshooting time.

Integrated Warning/Action system — the ATTN (Atten- tion) key blinks on the control panel when the printer detects an error condition, potential error condition, or when you make a change that suggests recalibration or other action to ensure best print quality. There are two types of ATTN messages:

Actions — the printer has detected an error condition that stopped printing or will prevent printing from start- ing. You must correct the error before the printer will be ready to print. When the printer senses that the error condition has been addressed, the Action will be deleted the next time the ATTN key is pressed.

Warnings — the printer has detected a condition that, if left unaddressed, could result in substandard prints or a condition that will require an action before printing can continue. Any action on your part is optional; printing is not interrupted for a Warning message.
