Special Features 1-37
Calibration The Advanced Automation Eye uses a high-resolution imaging
sensor, colorimetric photodiode, and embedded software to
align the printheads, detect and replace missing jets, linearize
output, and color profile media.
◆ AutoSet
TM
calibration — uses a high-resolution digital imag-
ing sensor to automatically align printheads bidirectionally
for precise positioning of ink jet pixels, and runs AutoJet.
◆ AutoJet
TM
calibration— compensates for lost or misfiring jets
by locating them and using substitute jets without slowing
printing speed.
◆ AutoTune
TM
scheduling — runs Purge-n-Wipe and/or Auto-
Jet at user-defined intervals, for highest quality during unat-
tended printing. Optionally, if unsubstituted non-working
jets are found, printing stops until the problem is corrected.
◆ Automatic color calibration — uses an onboard photodiode
to linearize output over the entire density range (with print
server or RIP support).
◆ Color profiling — with print server or RIP support, the
onboard photodiode can be used to create custom Color-
Mark
®
and ICC color profiles for third-party media.
Media Handling ◆ Tensioned roll-to-roll media handler — supply and takeup
spools are tensioned to manage vinyl medias on heated sur-
faces. Tensioning is automatically maintained consistently on
the supply and takeup as the roll diameters change during
printing. Optionally, the supply or takeup motors can be
idled during printing. In roll-fed mode, the supply must be
loaded, but the media can optionally be left off the takeup.
◆ Steel media spools — the takeup supports up to 7.5 inch
(190.5 mm) diameter rolls of vinyl media on 3-inch cores.
The supply can also accept 2-inch cores with the supplied
2-inch collets.
◆ Rigid cut-sheet option — if installed, this combination of
hardware and software enables printing on rigid cut-sheet
media up to 3/16 inch (4.76 mm) thick.
◆ Media width sensing — automatically detects the width and
position of the media loaded, for precise image placement.
◆ AutoEdge — automatically aids the loading of rigid sheets by
detecting right, left and leading edges, and warns the user if
the sheet is skewed.
