CalibrationPerformance and Ease-of-Use

Advanced pinch roller design — the molded pinch rollers are self-aligning to prevent media skew. Any individual pinch roller can be snapped up and out of the way to avoid interfer- ing with the edge of the media.

Adjustable media fence — keeps the media feeding straight, prevents skewing.

The Advanced Automation Eye uses a high-resolution imaging sensor, photodiode, and embedded software to align the print- heads, detect and replace missing jets, linearize output, and color profile media (with supported RIP).

AutoSetTM calibration — uses a high-resolution digital imaging sensor to automatically align printheads bidirection- ally for precise positioning of inkjet pixels, and runs AutoJet.

AutoJetTM calibration— compensates for lost or misfiring jets by locating them and using substitute jets without slow- ing printing speed.

AutoTuneTM scheduling — runs AutoJet at user-defined intervals, for highest quality during unattended printing. Optionally, if unsubstituted non-working jets are found, print- ing stops until the problem is corrected.

Automatic color calibration — uses an onboard photo- diode to linearize output over the entire density range (with print server or RIP support).

Color profiling — with RIP support, the onboard photo- diode can be used to create custom ColorMark® and ICC color profiles for third-party media.

Media Wizard — stores and recalls a set of operating parameters by media type and print mode, for optimal print- ing performance. Includes a set of predefined settings for standard media; user may add settings for other media.

Speed/quality print modes — provided to meet speed and quality requirements.

Edge-to-edge printing — margins on rigid media can be set to zero for edge-to-edge printing, providing “full bleed” prints without trimming.

Fine Text — prints at half the normal head speed to improve the output quality of fine text and line art.
