Diagnostics
From this screen you can see the current status of
your Printer. You can also:
Print Sample Page – Prints type and color bands
to check print quality.
Print Configuration Page – Shows the current
configuration of the Printer including Firmware
Version, Network Connection, Printer Serial
Number and more.
Print Diagnostic Page – Shows basic Printer
information, memory, Network Settings, Event
Log and RAM partitions.
Print Demo Page – Prints a 4-color sheet.
Print Ink Channels – Prints 5 bars (1 bar from each ink tank) to show how well the Printhead Nozzles are
working.
Print Color Bars Page – Prints a series of 8 color bars to show how well the Printhead is mixing colors
and printing.
Ink Usage
Allows you to monitor the estimated amount of ink left
in each of the five Ink Tanks. You can monitor ink
consumption and schedule Tank changes (saving
down-time during a print run.) NOTE: Ink Usage only
works when you start with a new Ink Tank and
leave it in the Printer.
Ink Estimation Mode – Checking this box lets you
predetermine how much ink a given job may use prior
to printing. This can be useful for determining per
piece costs. The job is sent to the Printer and loads, but
does not print. Once the job is loaded, the chart shows
the amount of ink (by color) that the job will use.
NOTE: The estimating process will take as long as
the job would take to print (i.e., if the job would
take 1 hour to print, the estimate will take 1 hour to display.)
