NOTICE:
Some Printer Preference features are not accessible
when there is job data in the printer.
Purge First Piece:
If this feature is set to ON; when a
job is received the Printer will feed and print a purge
pattern, to clear inkjet nozzles. Then, after a short pause, it will start feeding and printing the job.
Turn this feature OFF if you don’t want a purge pattern automatically printed, before the first piece of the job
is printed.
Select
= Purge First Piece ON.
Deselect
= Purge First Piece OFF.
NOTICE:
A Purge always prints at 600D and the lowest Belt Speed (1). If your job is set for a lower print
quality or a higher belt speed than 1, a Paper Jam or Double Feed will likely occur when using the Purge First
Piece feature. To avoid this issue, before sending a job (or pressing RUN), turn OFF the Feeder. Then send job
(or press RUN) and manually feed one piece of media into the printer. Once the printer prints the purge onto
the media, you can then Turn ON the Feeder and allow it to run at the selected speed. Feeder speed must be
set slightly slower than printer transport speed.
Automatic Feed Start:
By default, this feature is ON. When a job is received, the Printer will automatically
start feeding and printing. Turn this feature OFF to use the
button on Touchscreen
(
or
Pause/Resume
Key
on Control Panel
) to start feeding and printing.
Select
= Auto Feed Start ON.
Deselect
= Auto Feed Start OFF.
Keep Nozzles Alive:
Since the nozzles used to print ascender and descender sections of characters are not
fired as frequently as other areas, this may result in missing sections of some
characters (examples: g, j, p, q, y). This feature can be used to help reduce dehydration
of nozzles that are used to print ascender and descender sections of characters.
Select
= Keep Nozzles Alive ON (spitting occurs). A sequence of dots will be printed
across the media surface.
Deselect
= Keep Nozzles Alive OFF (no spitting).
Pull-down List:
Select the spitting frequency:
1x
,
2x
,
4x
(
default
), and
8x
.
The lower the selection value, the more frequently nozzles (dots) are fired (spit) onto the media in the areas
identified by the printer to be possible ascender or descender positions.
Selecting
600 dpi Test
spits both rows of printhead nozzles, in sequence, creating a pattern of diagonal lines
on each piece of printed media. This test pattern may be useful when troubleshooting nozzle-firing issues,
but it would not be desirable to use during live printing.
Tray Break:
Set how you want printer to react when it receives a Tray Break command from the software
application.
Select
“Tray Break” to use this feature.
Edit box
= Select and set the
Feeder Stop
(number of
seconds feeder should pause) or Select the
Conveyor
Gap
.
Feeder Stop:
Select and set the countdown timer to
pause/stop the feeder, for x number of seconds, when
the printer receives a Tray Break command.
Enter time in seconds (
1-60
).
Conveyor Gap:
When this feature is activated, Printer
responds to the Tray Break command by sending a
