Special Features
The printer has many advanced features to help you produce the
best printed output with the least effort.
◆ Micro-Quad
TM
printheads — sixteen 600 dpi piezoelectric
printheads (four per color).
◆ Off-Head System (OHS) — 3 liter bulk ink boxes with profil-
ers supply the printheads. The printer displays an alert when
an ink box should be replaced.
◆ Onboard vacuum/pressure (VP) system — provides vac-
uum to maintain negative printhead pressure, and air pres-
sure to purge the printheads or ink tubes without removing
them from the printer.
The Advanced Automation Eye uses a high-resolution imaging
sensor, photodiode, and embedded software to align the print-
heads, detect and replace missing jets, linearize output, and
color profile media.
◆ AutoSet
TM
calibration — uses a high-resolution digital imag-
ing sensor to automatically align printheads bidirectionally
for precise positioning of inkjet pixels, and runs AutoJet.
◆ AutoJet
TM
calibration— compensates for lost or misfiring jets
by locating them and using substitute jets without slowing
printing speed.
◆ AutoTune
TM
scheduling — runs AutoJet at user-defined inter-
vals, for highest quality during unattended printing. Option-
ally, if unsubstituted non-working jets are found, printing
stops until the problem is corrected.
◆ Automatic color calibration — uses an onboard photodiode
to linearize output over the entire density range (with RIP
support).
◆ Color profiling — with RIP support, the onboard photo-
diode can be used to create custom color profiles.
