Océ TCS400 Self-support guide

Use the wizards to achieve optimal output quality

When to do

Before you initialize the 'Optimize print quality' wizard, verify the following:

Did you define the correct media type for your job? Define the correct 
media for optimal output quality

Did you define the correct print mode settings for your job? (see ‘Defining 
the correct job settings for optimal output quality
’ on page 9)

After verifying that you used the correct media and the correct print modes, use 
the 'Optimize print quality' wizard to solve the following problems with your 
printed output:

Regular horizontal light or dark bands on the output

White stripes in filled areas

The length and width measurements are different from the original

The colored lines are not aligned or are blurred

Missing sections in lines or stepped lines

Parts of characters are missing

Drop-out caused by nozzle problems.

Chapter 7 of the user's manual includes complete information on how to 
optimize print quality.

types on the printer.
