Standard Nozzle Print
Introduction
There are two types of nozzle prints: Standard and Diagnostic. Both are found in the Operator/Test Prints menu. The Standard
nozzle print provides you with visual information about nozzle dropout or poor directionality from your print heads. The
circled areas in the sample Standard Nozzle print below indicate the dropouts than can result from plugged or misfiring
nozzles.
Purpose
The Standard Nozzle print gives you a visual indication of nozzle dropout and poor directionality in print heads. In particular,
it is very helpful when a block of nozzles on the outside (i.e., the outer ends of head 1 and head 4) becomes plugged. This
situation causes banding but is hard to identify using a diagnostic stripe or a diagnostic nozzle print.
When to do
Turn on the Diagnostic Stripe while printing to get a sense of the print head and nozzle condition and to help identify causes
of banding. However, when troubleshooting a persistent banding problem, we recommend that you print both the Standard
and Diagnostic Nozzle prints to get more detailed insight into the problem. The Standard Nozzle print is useful for identifying
plugged end nozzles and poor directionality.
