Utilities to Improve Print Quality
"Banding" is a common issue that arises during printing and two of the most s s a a c com ommo mon n is issu sue e th that at a ari rise ses s du
common causes of Banding are a dirty or clogged Print Head or one that is au ause ses s of of Ba
misaligned. If your prints are unexpectedly light or should one of the ink bottles If If
in the Bulk Ink System run dry, one or more Head Cleanings may be necessary.
In addition, if your printer has not been used for several days a Cleaning may
be required to unclog the nozzles so they can deliver ink properly.
Although Head Cleanings can use a lot of ink, we recommend
you do at least one regular cleaning each day. To initiate a this
cleaning cycle, hold down the Ink button on the T-Jet3 PLUS
Control Panel for three seconds.
When your T-Jet3 PLUS is not in use, make sure that the power is OFF so that
the Print Head remains docked with the Capping Station. This will help prevent
the ink within the Nozzles from drying up and clogging. When the printer is
powered ON, it will proceed with its normal start up cycle.

ensure your Fast T-Jet3 PLUS will print the best quality images possible. In fact,

procedures, you must install the
