2.4.2 Advanced Printhead Health Test Plot
The Advanced Printhead Health Test Plot is not part of the large diagnostic print, but it is similar to the
Printhead Health Test Plot described previously. With this plot however you will be able to identify which
of the Printhead Nozzles is actually failing. To print this test plot go to Menu List>2. Image Quality
Plots>2.4 Printheads Health>2.4.2 Advanced Test Plot.
This plot, like the normal nozzles health test, prints in a special one-pass full swath mode, but unlike the
normal nozzle health test, only a few of the nozzles are printed at once and with small incremental media
advances. Eventually all the nozzles of all the printheads are printed, this means printing the plot can take
longer than the normal heath test.
The plot is intended for visual inspection only. The plot consists of three blocks. For each printhead, there
is a different block, which can be easily identified by the colors of the printhead used inside and/or the
template located on the right side. Each block is split horizontally into two areas that correspond to the
colors in the printhead. Vertically, the block is split into sections that correspond to two dies combining
the two staggered printhead of each color (see graphic below).
