Print without Missing Dots
This printer monitors dot missing periodically with the auto nozzle check system, and performs
the auto head cleaning if any dots are missing. Select from 4 modes that are available for
different levels of requirements for print quality and movement.
When extremely high reliability and safety are required, be sure to detect dot m
issing using an
application in addition to the printer driver setting. For the details, see "When Extremely High
Reliability and Safety are Required" on page 142.
Sets this function from [Missing Dot Operation] on [Maintenance And Utilities] of
the printer
driver.
• High Reliability Mode (Void Image Print)
Mi ssing dots check is performed after printing each page to check that dot missing has not
occurred. When dot missing is detected, the Void Image Print is performed at the bottom of
the previous page. And after the dot missing is resolved by the auto head cleaning
, reprinting
starts from the corresponding page.
The Void Image is printed in solid black by default; however, other image files can also be
registered. Since dots are missing for the page on which the Void Image is printed, take proper
action such as discarding it.
• High Reliability Mode (Reprint)
Mi ssing dots check
is performed after printing each page to check that dot missing has not
occurred. When dot missing is detected, the following screen of the EPSON Status Monitor 3 is
displayed. Select the next operation from [Restart printing] (printing the next data) and
[Reprint] (reprinting after dot miss
ing is resolved by the auto head cleaning.)
• Anti-missing Read Mode
Does not perform missing dots check after printing each page, but checks missing dots while
not printing.
