Clear All Bad Jets

When you select Clear All Bad Jets, the control panel displays the following prompt:

Are you sure you want to clear ALL reported bad jets?

Press Cancel to cancel this function, or

Press Proceed. The control panel displays this message:

x new hard bad jets reported. x previous soft bad jets cleared. x previous hard bad jets cleared.

where x is the number of jets.

Default Registration Data

This option enables you to reset bidi registration, head-to-head registration, or jet mapping data, or
any combination of them. After running this option, the deleted calibration values must be
reestablished by running the calibrations.

Unfixed Jets Report

The Unfixed Jets Report displays a table showing, for each print mode, which colors are printing with
non-working inkjets that are not being automatically replaced with working jets by AutoJet mapping
(“unfixed” inkjets). For each combination of ink color and print mode, “No” means there are no unfixed
jets, “Yes” means there are unfixed jets.

Linearization

As the density of an image varies from highlights to shadows, or from lighter tints to darker tints, the
printer should accurately reproduce these areas in a predictable, or linear, fashion. The process of
linearization (or color calibration) involves printing and reading color test patches, and calibrating the
printer to ensure that the expected and printed densities will match. This in turn will ensure optimal
color matching.

Color calibration is a feature of the RIP connected to the printer. Refer to the documentation that
accompanies the RIP for further information.
