AutoJet

AutoJet detects individual inkjets 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 4-18). You may want to manually map weak or misdirected jets that AutoJet does not detect and substitute.

Jet replacement is not available in Billboard mode.

To run AutoJet:

•Select AutoJet Calibration from the Auto Calibrations menu (see “Auto Calibrations” on page 4-6), or

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

Tip

AutoJet does not work with transparent media, nor

 

with many translucent media. In this case, run Man-

 

ual Jet Mapping, or map jets on opaque media

 

before loading transparent/translucent media for

 

printing.
