AutoJet 4-3
AutoJet AutoJet detects individual ink jets that are misfiring or not firing
at all. During subsequent printing, the printer compensates for
these jets by using other jets in their place, ensuring maximum
print quality without reducing print speed.
You can also identify and map missing jets manually from the
Manual Calibrations menu (see Manual Jet Mapping on page
4-13). You may want to manually map weak or misdirected jets
that AutoJet does not detect and substitute.
To run AutoJet:
Press the AutoJet button on the control panel Front Page
screen (see page 2-4), or
Select AutoJet Calibration from the Auto Calibrations menu
(see “Auto Calibrations” on page 4-20), or
Run AutoJet automatically with the AutoTune scheduler (see
“Auto Calibrations” on page 4-20)
Note
AutoJet does not work with transparent media, nor
with many translucent media. In this case, run Man-
ual Jet Mapping.
1. Press the AutoJet button from the Front Page screen or select

the percentage completed.
