●Carriage Motion

●Calibration

●Verify H2H Y Alignment — verifies whether the print heads are aligned with each other (in the horizontal or Y-axis dimension) in-line or staggered, by printing a test pattern. If the lines print on top of each other, the heads are in-line; if they print interleaved with each other, the heads are staggered. The current Y alignment is shown in the About screen (to access it, press the printer name in the top center of the Front Page screen).

●Error History — displays a list of errors that have occurred since the printer was last powered up.

●Log Error History — writes a file containing all of the errors that have occurred on the printer since the printer was put into service, for troubleshooting by technical support personnel. The file is saved on the computer running the HP RIP Software at:

C:\PROGRAM FILES\HP-RIPSW\LOGS\C3.TXT

●Log System Info — general system events, including head motion failures and printhead purges, are now saved to a log file for troubleshooting by technical support personnel. The file is saved on the computer running the HP RIP Software at:

Alternatively, the log can be printed (Service Printer > Print Info Pages) and mailed or faxed.
