Selecting ink preheat

Although cartridge heat settings are optimised for Océ media for printing in a
standard office environment, they can vary depending on the ambient
temperature where the printer is located and the type of ink or media used.
Adjusting the ink preheat settings (after applying other corrective measures)
can help solve problems with banding, poor fills, or over dot gain.
The default ink preheat values depend on the type of ink used, which the printer
reads from the chip at the back of each cartridge. You can either increase or
decrease the temperature from the default value by pressing (+) or (-)
respectively. When you reach the limits of the temperature range, the panel
displays
modify when changing to another type of ink.
Use the following tips to select preheat settings:
Turn down the heat for a smaller dot size in a hot or humid environment.
Turn up the heat in a cold or dry environment for a larger dot size. However,
too high a setting can cause the ink to run or sputter.
Adjusting the preheat settings will influence the printed colours.
Note:
To select an ink preheat setting
