Quality Start Mode; Using Quality Start Manually - Ricoh Priport JP5500 Operating Instructions Manual

Operation

Quality Start Mode

If the machine is not used for a long
period of time or you change the color
1
drum unit, the ink on the drum might
dry causing print quality to deterio-
rate. To solve this problem, you can
have the machine carry out a few idle
spins of the drum before a print run.
This will restore image quality and
save you having to make a repeat
print run.
You can use this feature in two ways:
❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ Manual Quality Start
Choose Quality Start mode for the
next print run manually using the
{ { { { Quality Start} } } } key.
❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ Auto Quality Start
Have the machine check automati-
cally how long ago it was used be-
fore each print run. If the machine
has not been used for a long time,
Quality Start will be used for the
print job. By default, Auto Quality
Start mode is on. You can turn it off
with the user tools. See "Setting
Q.start" on p.148 "4. Mode Set-
ting".
Note
❒ You can change the number of
spins in Manual Quality Start
mode with the user tools. See
"Idling for Q.start" on p.148 "4.
Mode Setting".
❒ You can change the number of
spins after the fixed time period
has passed in Auto Quality Start
mode with the user tools. See "No.
of Q.start" on p.148 "4. Mode Set-
ting".
