Cautions regarding automatic configuration
Notes
Automatic configuration sets nozzle map mechanically, so absolute precision of the setting cannot be guaranteed.
The printer cannot configure correctly nozzle map in the following cases. In such cases, improve the conditions or perform
manual configuration.
- The media used makes the check via sensors impossible.
(Some media types, even conventional ones, may not be supported by automatic configuration.)
<Examples>
- Transparent media
- Media with a rough surface
- Media with an extremely high or low degree of reflection
- Media on which the pattern cannot be printed properly, such as when the ink tends to bleed
- Media where density differences do not appear on the printed pattern.
- Media that does not advance smoothly
- Media that wrinkles easily
- The media surface is soiled with dust, ink, finger marks, etc.
- A gap tends to form between the platen and the media
- Lots of nozzles are clogged
- The media heater temperatures are not suitable
- The environmental luminosity is too strong
- The bidirectional or media advance adjustment value is not set correctly
With automatic configuration, the printed pattern is read automatically. However, discrepancies may appears in the printed
pattern between media lots or if the media is old. Therefore, the detection results may be incorrect even when using the
same media.
In such cases, use manual print adjustment.
Depending on the environment temperature and humidity, nozzles may clog after automatic configuration, even if it
happens rarely.
In such a case, first perform cleaning to recover the nozzles, and then perform manual configuration.
