Quality Start Mode
If the machine is not used for a long
period of time or you change the color
drum unit, the ink on the drum might
dry causing print quality to deterio-
rate. To solve this problem, you can
have the machine carry out a few idle
spins of the drum before a print run.
This will restore image quality and
save you having to make a repeat
print run.
You can use this feature in two ways:
❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ Manual Quality Start
Choose Quality Start mode for the
next print run manually using the
{{{{Quality Start}}}} key.
❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ Auto Quality Start
Have the machine check automati-
cally how long ago it was used be-
fore each print run. If the machine
has not been used for a long time,
Quality Start will be used for the
print job. By default, Auto Quality
Start mode is on. You can turn it off
with the user tools. See “Setting
Q.start” on p.146 “4. Mode Set-
ting”.
You can set whether Auto Quality
Start mode is used for Before print
and After print by selecting “Yes”
or “No” in Auto Quality Start
mode with the user tools. See p.146
“4. Mode Setting”.
If Before print is selected for Auto
Quality Start mode, the machine
carries out a few idle spins before a
print run.
If After print is selected for Auto
Quality Start mode, the machine
carries out ink removal before en-
tering Energy Saver mode to pre-
vent ink bleeding for the print.
Note
❒ You can change the number of
spins in Manual Quality Start
mode with the user tools. See
“Idling for Q.start” on p.146 “4.
Mode Setting”.
❒ You can change the number of
spins after the fixed time period
has passed in Auto Quality Start
mode with the user tools. See “No.
of Q.start” on p.146 “4. Mode Set-
ting”.
❒ Use this mode in combination with
Energy Saver mode to produce
even better results.
