◆ Idle Spits — when the printer is idle, it automatically spits a
small amount of ink into the service station to keep the ink-
jets open and working. To reduce the amount of ink con-
sumed during idle spitting, you can set the operation to
Medium or Low. To ensure that the printheads are always at
maximum readiness, use the High setting.
◆ Low Ink Warning — defines the amount of ink remaining in
the ink box supply at which the printer will display a “low
ink” message on the control panel.
◆ Printer Name — displays a keypad to change the printer
name displayed on the control panel and RIP or ColorSpan
Print Server. Alternatively, the printer name can be changed
from the ColorSpan Print Server.
◆ Restore All Defaults — restores all Printer Configuration set-
tings to their factory default values, and zeroes all registra-
tion data. After running this option, all calibration values
must be reestablished by running AutoSet or manual calibra-
tions.
Maintenance ◆ Access Printheads — moves the printhead carriage out from
the service station to the capping station. This is the same
functionality as the Access Heads button on the Front Page.
◆ Purge A Color — purges the four printheads of a single color,
rather than all sixteen printheads. This is helpful when recov-
ering stubborn jet-outs.
◆ Print Jet-Out Lines — prints a version of the prime bars (see
page 2-6), in which missing jets that are replaced are
marked with a black square.
◆ Fill Service Station — fills the service station reservoir with
cleaning solvent.
◆ Reset Reservoir Filters — after you replace the ink reservoir
filters, select this option to reset the ink counts to zero. See
“Replace Ink Filters” on page 5-19 for instructions.
◆ Respool Media — this option enables you to respool media
from the supply directly to the takeup (in either direction)
without passing over the heaters or platen.
◆ Clean Grit Rollers — advances the grit rollers continuously so
they can be cleaned (with no media loaded).
◆ Capping Purge — enables you to disable or enable the purge
that is automatically performed prior to capping.
