Quality Start Mode

If the machine is not used for a long

period of time or you change the color

drum unit, the ink on the drum might

dry causing print quality to deterio-

rate. To solve this problem, you can

have the machine carry out a few idle

spins of the drum before a print run.

This will restore image quality and

save you having to make a repeat

print run.

You can use this feature in two ways:

❖

❖❖

❖Manual Quality Start

Choose Quality Start mode for the

next print run manually using the

{

{{

{Quality Start}

}}

} key.

❖

❖❖

❖Auto Quality Start

Have the machine check automati-

cally how long ago it was used be-

fore each print run. If the machine

has not been used for a long time,

Quality Start will be used for the

print job. By default, Auto Quality

Start mode is on. You can turn it off

with the user tools. See “Setting

Q.start” on p.146 “4. Mode Set-

ting”.

You can set whether Auto Quality

Start mode is used for Before print

and After print by selecting “Yes”

or “No” in Auto Quality Start

mode with the user tools. See p.146

“4. Mode Setting”.

If Before print is selected for Auto

Quality Start mode, the machine

carries out a few idle spins before a

print run.

If After print is selected for Auto

Quality Start mode, the machine

carries out ink removal before en-

tering Energy Saver mode to pre-

vent ink bleeding for the print.

Note

❒You can change the number of

spins in Manual Quality Start

mode with the user tools. See

“Idling for Q.start” on p.146 “4.

Mode Setting”.

❒You can change the number of

spins after the fixed time period

has passed in Auto Quality Start

mode with the user tools. See “No.

of Q.start” on p.146 “4. Mode Set-

ting”.

❒Use this mode in combination with

Energy Saver mode to produce

even better results.
