    Checking Jet Health Under most conditions, AutoJet jet substitution and the printer’s automated printhead service station keeps the printheads clean and operating without your intervention. Should operator clean- ing of the printheads become necessary, the printer also pro- vides several printhead-cleaning tools to accomplish this. If you notice a decrease in print quality, one or more inkjets may be clogged.

  • Page 81: Media Feed Calibration

    Media Feed Calibration This calibration allows you to calibrate the accuracy of the media advance. Inaccurate media advance can result in blank spaces between print swaths (too much advance) or overlapping swaths (too little advance).

    Linearization As the density of an image varies from highlights to shadows, or from lighter tints to darker tints, the printer should accurately reproduce these areas in a predictable, or linear, fashion. The process of linearization (or color calibration) involves printing and reading color test patches, and calibrating the printer to ensure that the expected and printed densities will match.
