HP 0706124 REV B - Manual (Page 46)

2-12 Menu
◆ Head Height — sets the height of the printhead to Normal
(0.050 inches/1.27 mm) or Custom. Use Normal unless the
media is curling or the printhead carriage is striking the
media. Lower settings reduce ink overspray, but increase the
chances of the printhead striking the media. When the head
height is 0.070 inches (1.78 mm) or higher, do not run
AutoSet, run the manual calibrations instead.
◆ Space Between Prints — sets the blank space between print
jobs, between 0 and 10 inches (25 cm).
◆ Right and Left Margin — sets the amount of blank space for
the right and left margins, between 0 and 5 inches (13 cm).
◆ Service Station — sets the printhead service station cycle:
every 30 seconds, spit-and-wipe (default); or every 30 sec-
onds with spit only. The service station cycle helps keep the
ink jets open when not printing by expelling ink and
(optionally) wiping the jets.
◆ Drying Delay — select the printer’s preprogrammed algo-
rithm for slowing the print speed when the ambient relative
humidity is excessive, or specify a custom drying delay in
seconds per print swath. A longer delay allows the output to
remain under the dryer longer, which ensures adequate dry-
ing under higher ambient relative humidity.
Printing automatically occurs at a speed that ensures that the
output will be dry before it reaches the takeup spool,
depending on the level of ambient relative humidity.
To increase the media advance speed, you can specify a man-
ual drying delay. If you specify a manual drying delay inter-
val that will be insufficient to dry the output, the printer will
display a warning message on the control panel. Be aware
that if you override this warning without increasing the dry-
ing delay, you should not use the takeup system, and take
care to remove output from the printer before it reaches the
floor, and store it flat until it dries. Using the takeup to collect
wet output, or allowing wet output to pile on the floor,
would likely result in ruined prints.
◆ Units — sets English or metric units of measure for data dis-
played by the control panel.
◆ Expert/Novice Messages — Novice mode presents Warn-
ings & Changes (alerts that do not prohibit printing) and
Actions (conditions that require user intervention before
printing can proceed). Expert mode presents Actions only,
presents fewer “press Proceed” prompts after an Action has
been addressed, and does not require you to press Proceed
