SECTION 3
OPERATING PRINTER
39
[B] SETUP Settings
– Lets you adjust
automated service and cleaning intervals,
adjust feeder speed for a job and adjust
Printer for pre-printed media.
KWS Setting
– (
Keep Web Spitting
) Keeps
Printhead hydrated while running a job.
Select from 3 settings:
None
,
Light
(
default
),
Heavy
, to determine how much
ink will “spit” from Printhead Nozzles. Set
in conjunction with
“Mid-Job Servicing”
which determines frequency of Printer
stopping for self-servicing during a job.
Cutsheet Feeding Mode
– Permits you to
change how Printer feeds media depending
on type of job you are running:
Safe Feed
– Leaves a larger gap
between pieces to reduce overprinting
onto next piece. This setting is useful
for more intricate printing jobs or jobs
requiring best print quality.
Max_Throughput
– Allows fastest printing speed. Printer works like a stream feeder. This setting is
useful for simple printing jobs.
NOTE:
A few extra blank pieces may run through at end of job.
NOTE
: These two settings can be changed without stopping job.
Example:
While running a job in
“Max-Throughput”
you find that the media is jamming
excessively due to speed. Open Toolbox, check
“Safe Feed”
and click
“Submit”
. Printer
automatically adjusts without having to pause or stop job.
Mid-Job Servicing
– Sets frequency of automatic maintenance cycles run during a job after a set amount
of media is run. Settings are:
50 Pages*
(Default),
100 Pages
,
250 Pages
,
500 Pages
,
1000 Pages
and
2500 Pages
.
NOTE: Changing setting from “Default” may cause print quality issues and reduce
Printhead life.
*Use 50 Pages (Default) setting only with media at least letter-sized or A4 length or longer.
Purge Bar Position
– In operation, Printhead spits a small amount of ink in gap between pieces to keep
nozzles refreshed. For irregular-shaped pieces (
like an envelope flap
), Sensor may “read” lower end as the
edge and spray on the tip of flap instead of actual gap between pieces. This feature allows you to
manually set gap (
1 micron increments
) to account for extra length needed to reach actual gap.
Ignore Exit Sensor
– Checking this box turns Exit Sensor OFF. Sensor may not detect trailing edge of a
piece of pre-printed media if back of that media is dark or black. (
Example:
adding addresses to a pre-
printed postcard.
) This may cause Sensor to react as if a jam has occurred. Turning Sensor OFF prevents
these “false jams” from stopping job.
Overlap Detection
– Detects differences in media thickness and stops the Printer if two or more single
sheets pass through the sensor stacked on top of each other. Default is not activated (
box not checked
).
If running envelopes or media with varying thickness, turn this feature OFF (
uncheck box
).
NOTE:
Remember to turn feature back ON if running single sheets again.
Click
“Submit”
to apply settings.
