Print direction
Print direction specifies whether the inkjets fire on both passes of the carriage over the
print area (bidirectional), or just on the return pass (unidirectional). If you’re printing an
image with heavy fill or shading, unidirectional can reduce running and ink bleeding. If
you’re more concerned with printer speed, bidirectional firing can decrease your printing
time.

Choosing feed media options
Feed media options allow you to:
• define End of Media
• display/enter Media Counter values
Note:
Media feeding and loading are described in the Quick Start Guide.
End of media
There are circumstances where the media does not fully detach from the feeder roll or
the media gets stuck and does not fully advance through the printer. In either case, the
carriage board sensor detects the presence of media and the printer continues to print.
This creates a mess as the printer continues to lay down ink on the same portion of
media.
If the End of Media feature is set to FEEDER STOP, the printer will look for an abnor-
mally long absence of the loop of media that occurs between the feeder roll and the
platen. After 20 seconds, the printer enters pause mode just as if you had pressed
PAUSE from the main menu. The printer will remain in pause mode until you press
PAUSE (which toggles to the resume state) or you press RESET. Pressing PAUSE
allows you to continue the current print at your discretion.
