Diagnostic Stripe - Oce Arizona T220UV User Manual

Diagnostic Stripe

Introduction
The Diagnostic Stripe is an option that can be turned on or off 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. This stripe can yield a lot of detailed information similar to the diagnostic nozzle print
regarding the position and condition of the heads.
Make sure the media is large enough to allow the stripe to print on the away side. Otherwise the stripe may print on
Note:
the table. Alternately, use a piece of scrap media of the same thickness to print the stripe on.
