◆ Idle Spits — when the printer is idle, it automatically spits a small amount of ink into the service station to keep the ink- jets open and working. To reduce the amount of ink consumed during idle spitting, you can set the operation to Medium or Low. To ensure that the printheads are always at maximum readiness, use the High setting.

◆ Low Ink Warning — defines the amount of ink remaining in the ink box supply at which the printer will display a “low ink” message on the control panel.

◆ Printer Name — displays a keypad to change the printer name displayed on the control panel and RIP or ColorSpan Print Server. Alternatively, the printer name can be changed from the ColorSpan Print Server.

 

◆ Restore All Defaults — restores all Printer Configuration set-

 

tings to their factory default values, and zeroes all registra-

 

tion data. After running this option, all calibration values

 

must be reestablished by running AutoSet or manual calibra-

 

tions.

Maintenance

◆ Access Printheads — moves the printhead carriage out from

 

the service station to the capping station. This is the same

 

functionality as the Access Heads button on the Front Page.

 

◆ Purge A Color — purges the four printheads of a single color,

 

rather than all sixteen printheads. This is helpful when recov-

 

ering stubborn jet-outs.

 

◆ Print Jet-Out Lines — prints a version of the prime bars (see

 

page 2-6), in which missing jets that are replaced are

 

marked with a black square.

 

◆ Fill Service Station — fills the service station reservoir with

 

cleaning solvent.

 

◆ Reset Reservoir Filters — after you replace the ink reservoir

 

filters, select this option to reset the ink counts to zero. See

 

“Replace Ink Filters” on page 5-19for instructions.

 

◆ Respool Media — this option enables you to respool media

 

from the supply directly to the takeup (in either direction)

 

without passing over the heaters or platen.

 

◆ Clean Grit Rollers — advances the grit rollers continuously so

 

they can be cleaned (with no media loaded).

 

◆ Capping Purge — enables you to disable or enable the purge

 

that is automatically performed prior to capping.
