Measure Media (sheet-fed) — for cut-sheet media, you can choose various levels of precision for finding the left (user end), right (service end), and front edges of the media. First, the printer prompts you to select a measurement frequency (trade-off between precision and speed):

Measure only on first load — measure only once, after you configure the media; best for fast throughput when precise image placement is not required or when using the media alignment pins

Measure on all loads — best for precise image placement, such as for N-UP and edge-to- edge printing

Don’t measure media — best for fast throughput when precise image placement is not required and there are very wide margins around the image

After you select one of these options, the printer prompts you to select a measurement type:

Minimal — measures the width of the media once and finds the front right edge; no skew detection

Standard — measures the width of the media once, and finds the front edge in two places to estimate skew

One Edge — measures the user- and service-end edges on the first sheet, user-end edge only on subsequent sheets, and the front right edge (no skew detection). For single-sheet jobs only, not available for multi-sheet N-UP. Works best on jobs with wider margins.

Maximal — measures the width of the media in two places to estimate skew

Choose Minimal for fastest throughput, Maximal for greatest precision and skew detection when printing edge-to-edge.

Measure media (roll-fed) — for roll-fed media, you can choose various levels of precision for finding the left (user end), and right (service end) edges of the media.

When loading — locates the left and right edges only when loading a roll of media.

Before each copy — locates the left and right edges of the media before each print. This enables the printer to compensate for any “drifting” of the media, and print the image at the correct location.

Print White Space — provides the option of causing the printer to advance the media past white space in the document file without the usual “printing” carriage motion. The printer will finish curing any printed areas before skipping white space. Skipping the white space increases the printer's effective speed.

Head Height off Media — automatically raises the rail to set the printhead clearance from the media, at the height you specify. A lower height reduces overspray, but increases the chances for a head strike on the media. Bidi calibration is automatically adjusted for changes in this value.

Purge Type — sets the purge type used when the Purge key is pressed from the Front Page screen, Standard or Performance. Performance is more effective, but uses more ink compared to Standard.

Eject Sheets to Input Side (sheetfed) — after printing, reverses the media feed and ejects the printed sheet out the input side. This makes it possible for the operator to perform all operations on the input side of the printer, and makes the workflow for two-sided printing more efficient. (Two- sided printing of Stored Jobs always ejects out the output side. See Stored jobs on page 29 for details.)
