●
Measure Media (sheet-fed) — for cut-sheet media, you can choose various levels of precision for
finding the left (user end), right (service end), and front edges of the media. First, the printer prompts
you to select a measurement frequency (trade-off between precision and speed):
◦
Measure only on first load — measure only once, after you configure the media; best for fast
throughput when precise image placement is not required or when using the media alignment
pins
◦ Measure on all loads — best for precise image placement, such as for N-UP and edge-to-
edge printing
◦
Don’t measure media — best for fast throughput when precise image placement is not
required and there are very wide margins around the image
After you select one of these options, the printer prompts you to select a measurement type:
◦
Minimal — measures the width of the media once and finds the front right edge; no skew
detection
◦
Standard — measures the width of the media once, and finds the front edge in two places to
estimate skew
◦
One Edge — measures the user- and service-end edges on the first sheet, user-end edge
only on subsequent sheets, and the front right edge (no skew detection). For single-sheet jobs
only, not available for multi-sheet N-UP. Works best on jobs with wider margins.
◦
Maximal — measures the width of the media in two places to estimate skew
Choose Minimal for fastest throughput, Maximal for greatest precision and skew detection
when printing edge-to-edge.
● Measure media (roll-fed) — for roll-fed media, you can choose various levels of precision for finding
the left (user end), and right (service end) edges of the media.
◦
When loading — locates the left and right edges only when loading a roll of media.
◦
Before each copy — locates the left and right edges of the media before each print. This
enables the printer to compensate for any “drifting” of the media, and print the image at the
correct location.
●
Print White Space — provides the option of causing the printer to advance the media past white
space in the document file without the usual “printing” carriage motion. The printer will finish curing
any printed areas before skipping white space. Skipping the white space increases the printer's
effective speed.
● Head Height off Media — automatically raises the rail to set the printhead clearance from the media,
at the height you specify. A lower height reduces overspray, but increases the chances for a head
strike on the media. Bidi calibration is automatically adjusted for changes in this value.
●
Purge Type — sets the purge type used when the Purge key is pressed from the Front Page screen,
Standard or Performance. Performance is more effective, but uses more ink compared to Standard.
● Eject Sheets to Input Side (sheetfed) — after printing, reverses the media feed and ejects the
printed sheet out the input side. This makes it possible for the operator to perform all operations
on the input side of the printer, and makes the workflow for two-sided printing more efficient. (Two-
sided printing of Stored Jobs always ejects out the output side. See
Stored jobs on page 29 for
details.)
