Parally Restricng the Print Heads Used for Prinng
When dot drop-out or dot displacement is not improved even if "INK RENEWAL" and "HEAD WASH" are per-
formed, parally restrict the print heads to use for prinng (i.e. prevent the use of the print heads that are causing
discharge issues). This operaon is called the "nozzle mask," and while it slows down prinng speed, it also allows
you to decrease the impact of dot drop-out or dot displacement.
First print a test paern, and then select the print heads to use in prinng from the test results. Aer that, use
VersaWorks to limit print heads used for prinng.
1. Set the machine so that the print area is set each me the media is set up.
Prevent prinng in the incorrect posion by specifying the print area each me before seng up the object to be
printed on.
MEMO
To print in the same posion repeatedly, specify "DISABLE" for this seng.
