1-36 Special Features
Special Features The printer has many advanced features to help you produce the
best printed output with the least effort.
Printheads ◆ Micro-Quad
TM
printheads — sixteen 600 dpi, 30 picoliter
piezoelectric printheads (four per color).
◆ AutoClean
TM
service station — a motorized service station
that wipes the printheads with cleaning solvent automati-
cally to keep all jets firing properly.
◆ Purge-n-Wipe
TM
— combines an air pressure purge with a
cleaning solvent wipe of the printheads to recover clogged
jets.
◆ AutoRecover — performs a Purge-n-Wipe at the start of a
print job (before printing) if a Purge-n-Wipe has not been
performed for a specified amount of time.
◆ Automated printhead maintenance — to keep individual
inkjets from drying out, the printer periodically “spits” a
small amount of ink and performs a Purge-n-Wipe cycle.
◆ Capping station — manually-operated capping station pre-
vents drying out of printheads when idle. The printer senses
the position of the capping station to prevent carriage move-
ment while capped, or to prevent the carriage from moving
to the capping station if it is raised.
Ink System ◆ Off-Head System (OHS) — bulk ink and cleaning solvent res-
ervoirs allow refilling without taking the printer offline, even
during printing. The printer displays an alert when ink or sol-
vent can be refilled.
◆ 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.
