3-4 Selecting a Print Mode
Selecting a Print Mode ◆ The bidirectional print modes (printing occurs in both direc-
tions) enable you to select the combination of print speed
and quality required.
Speed or throughput depends on the
mode selected, and by other factors such as the width of the
image.
◆ The unidirectional modes are available for rigid cut-sheet
printing only. Unidirectional printing eliminates the bidirec-
tional misalignment that occurs when printing on media that
is not perfectly flat.
◆ The printer automatically accepts and prints jobs from the
RIP at either 600x600 or 600x300 dpi.
◆ Jet replacement refers to the printer’s ability to locate and
replace ink jets that are clogged or misfiring. High Quality
mode has the best jet replacement, Billboard Quality mode
has the highest speed.
◆ The software will turn on the optional auxiliary dryer fans
automatically during printing, and increase media advance
speeds accordingly, if the fans are installed and enabled
