Analyzing the Image Quality Print

The Image Quality Print will contain five patterns as follows:
1 Print head Warm Up (See below).
2 Image Quality Test (See Below).
3 Nozzle Print Test ' page 6 13.
4 Color Alignment Quality Test ' page 6 14.
5 Color Variation Test ' page 6 16.
Test Pattern 1: Printhead Warm up
This pattern warms up the printheads, leaving them in a perfect operating
condition. You can ignore this pattern and continue with Test Pattern 2.
Test Pattern 2: Image Quality Test
This test pattern checks for overall image print quality.
If you do not see any problems with the image quality test (similar to
the example shown below), then the printer is functioning correctly. The
problem may be with the RIP , driver , etc. that the customer is using.
Refer to page 6 17 for further information.
If you see image problems in this test pattern then continue with the following
procedures which will help you determine the nature of the problem.
