SECTION 3
OPERATING THE PRINTER
48
Purge Bar Position (BoF)* – In operation, the Printhead spits a small amount of ink in the gap between
pieces to keep the nozzles refreshed. For irregular-shaped pieces (like an open envelope flap), the sensor
may “read” the lower end as the edge and spray (print a purge bar) on the tip of the flap instead of the
actual gap. This feature allows you to manually set the purge bar location (bottom of form), to account
for the extra length needed to reach the actual gap.
1000 = 1 mm. By default this value is normally set to 3000 (3 mm).
NOTE: With the addition of this feature, the “bof_adjustment” setting was removed from the Toolbox
Service Menus “Printer Control Config” settings.
* See also “Purge Bar Position” in the “Printer Driver Properties”, “Layout Tab” section.
Ignore Exit Sensor – Disables the detection of a “paper jam” under certain conditions. Allows use of
media that is non-reflective to the Paperpath Exit sensor.
When this feature is NOT selected; non-reflective areas, on the underside of the media, may cause a false
“paper jam” condition. The Toolbox will display "Paperpath_Paperjam".
After you select this feature and click on Submit; you will see the "Paperpath Exit" condition, shown in
the Toolbox, change to "Exit: Disabled”.
NOTE: Please try cleaning sensors; as outlined in the user's guide; before selecting this feature. This
feature will not solve issues caused by media transport (slipping, hesitating) or a damaged Exit Sensor.
PLEASE BE SURE TO HIT "SUBMIT" AFTER CHANGING THESE SETTINGS
