Printing on the left side only reduces ink usage, while

 

 

printing on both sides can keep the inkjets clearer. Using

 

 

this feature decreases the width available for printing the

 

 

job.

 

 

Left Platen Gutter — determines when the jets will fire in

 

 

the left spittoon to keep all jets firing correctly. Turning

 

 

off this function may speed throughput with narrower

 

 

media, since it allows the carriage to turn around before

 

 

reaching the end of the platen, but it may also necessi-

 

 

tate more frequent Purge-n-Wipe operations to clear

 

 

clogged jets. Always On fires the jets in the spittoon

 

 

with all media widths. Off for Media <40 In. Wide fires

 

 

the jets in the spittoon only if the media is less than 40

 

 

inches wide. Off for Media <71 In. Wide fires the jets

 

 

only if the media is less than 71 inches wide.

 

 

Platen Gutter Spits — sets the amount of ink used by the

 

 

maintenance spits to High, Medium, and Low. To con-

 

 

serve ink, use the lowest setting that keeps the jets open.

 

 

The default High.

 

Margin Settings

 

 

Space Between Prints (roll-fed)— sets the blank space

 

 

between print jobs, between 0 and 10 inches (25 cm).

 

 

Right and Left Margin — sets the amount of blank space

 

 

for the right and left margins, between 0 and 5 inches

 

 

(13 cm). Optionally, on rigid media only, you can print

 

 

up to or past the right and left edges (see “Edge-to-Edge

 

 

Printing” on page 3-38).

 

 

Leading Margin (cut-sheet) — sets the amount of blank

 

 

space at the leading edge of cut-sheet media.

 

 

Trailing Margin (cut-sheet) — sets the amount of blank

 

 

space at the trailing edge of cut-sheet media.

MEDIA WIZARD

Media Measure Type — for cut-sheet media, you can choose

 

 

one of three levels of precision for finding the left, right, and

 

 

front edges of the media.

 

 

Minimal — measures the width of the media once, and

 

 

finds the front right edge

 

 

Standard — measures the width of the media once, and

 

 

finds the right and left front edges to estimate skew

 

 

Maximal — measures the width of the media in two

 

 

places, and finds the right and left front edges to esti-

 

 

mate skew

 

 

Choose Minimal for fastest throughput with media in per-

 

 

fect condition, Maximal for greatest precision and skew

 

 

detection when printing edge-to-edge.
