Analyzing the Image Quality Print
The Image Quality Print will contain five patterns as follows:
1 Print-head Warm Up (See below).
2 Image Quality Test (See Below).
3 Nozzle Print Test ' page 6-13.
4 Color Alignment Quality Test ' page 6-14.
5 Color Variation Test ' page 6-16.
Test Pattern 1: Printhead Warm-up
This pattern warms-up the printheads, leaving them in a perfect operating
condition. You can ignore this pattern and continue with Test Pattern 2.
Test Pattern 2: Image Quality Test
This test pattern checks for overall image print quality.
If you do not see any problems with the image quality test (similar to the
example shown below), then the printer is functioning correctly. The
problem may be with the RIP, driver, etc. that the customer is using.
Refer to page 6-18 for further information.
If you see image problems in this test pattern then continue with the
following procedures which will help you determine the nature of the
problem.
