212 Chapter 8 Ensure the best output quality
Use the Optimize print quality wizard
Use the Optimize print quality wizard
Introduction
The off-line screen of the printer operator panel contains the 'Optimize print quality'
wizard that helps you to correct the problems with the output quality. The wizard
performs the following actions.
■ Detect weak or failing nozzles.
The Océ TCS500 automatically compensates the detected nozzles in future prints
to make sure that print quality is optimal.
■ Align the printheads and optimize the paper transport.
During the 'Optimize print quality' wizard, the system performs an alignment. The
alignment requires the use of media. Make sure at least one roll of the defined media
(see ‘Set up unattended / overnight printing optimization’ on page 155) is loaded
before you enter the 'Optimize print quality' wizard.
Note: You can start the 'Optimize print quality' wizard from the printer operator
panel or you can automatically optimize your print quality after a defined number of
prints if you set 'Overnight printing optimization' in the Océ Settings Editor to
'On'(see ‘Set up unattended / overnight printing optimization’ on page 155).
When to do
Before you start the 'Optimize print quality' wizard, first check the following.
■ Did you use the correct media type?
■ Did you use the correct print mode?
Only start the wizard when you are sure that you used the correct media type and the
correct print mode, and the output quality is still not satisfactory.
