Special Features 1-15
Special Features The printer has many advanced features to help you produce the
best printed output with the least effort.
Printheads ◆ Micro-Quad
TM
printheads — sixteen 600 dpi, 25 picoliter
piezoelectric printheads (four per color).
◆ AutoClean
TM
service station — a motorized service station
that wipes the printheads with cleaning solvent automati-
cally to keep all jets firing properly.
◆ Purge-n-Wipe
TM
— combines an air pressure purge with a
cleaning solvent wipe of the printheads to recover clogged
jets.
◆ AutoRecover — performs a Purge-n-Wipe at the start of a
print job (before printing) if a Purge-n-Wipe has not been
performed for a specified amount of time.
◆ Automated printhead maintenance — to keep individual
inkjets from drying out, the printer periodically “spits” a
small amount of ink and performs a Purge-n-Wipe cycle.
◆ Capping station — manually-operated capping station pre-
vents drying out of printheads when idle. The printer senses
the position of the capping pad to prevent carriage move-
ment while capped, or to prevent the carriage from moving
to the capping station if the pad is raised.
Ink System ◆ Off-Head System (OHS) — 3 liter bulk ink boxes with profil-
ers supply the printheads. The printer displays an alert when
an ink box should be replaced.
◆ Onboard vacuum/pressure (VP) system — provides vac-
uum to maintain negative printhead pressure, and air pres-
sure to purge the printheads or ink tubes without removing
them from the printer.
Calibration ◆ AutoSet
TM
calibration — uses a high-resolution digital imag-
ing sensor to automatically align printheads bidirectionally
for precise positioning of ink jet pixels, and runs AutoJet.
◆ AutoJet
TM
calibration— compensates for lost or misfiring jets
by locating them and using substitute jets without slowing
printing speed.
◆ AutoTune
TM
scheduling — runs Purge-n-Wipe and/or Auto-
Jet at user-defined intervals, for highest quality during unat-
tended printing. Optionally, if unsubstituted non-working
jets are found, printing stops until the problem is corrected.
