Evaluating the Diagnostic Stripe

3.4.3
The Diagnostic Stripe is an option that can be turned on in the Print Parameter menu. If
the option is turned on, then on the first swath of printing, a stripe is printed on the away
side of the image. The stripe is printed every time the gantry has stepped approximately
250mm. The stripe can yield a lot of detailed information similar to the diagnostic nozzle
print regarding the position and condition of the heads.
Note:
Make sure the media is large enough to allow the stripe to print on the away
side. Otherwise the stripe may print on the table. Alternately, use a piece of
scrap media of the same thickness to print the stripe on.
Each head has a row of 128 nozzles. The outer nozzles are not fired in the image or in
the Diagnostic Stripe. Due to the nature of the head, adjacent nozzles can't be fired at
the same time. Nozzles are labeled in the following order:
Outer Nozzle A B C A B C ........... A B C A B C Outer Nozzle
1 • • • • • • • .............• • • • • • • 128
3-62
