11/36Auto Adjustment and Detection FeaturesQ. What does the non-firing nozzle detection and compensation system do?This monitors ink firing from the print head nozzles with precision and automatically performscleaning upon detection of clogging. Further, if clogging persists after cleaning, the nozzle that isnot firing ink will be replaced by a functional one. This proactively prevents failed prints resultingfrom nozzle clogging.Q. What automatic control and adjustment features are provided with regard to media?Environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity as well as amount of ink for the printjob are detected by sensors. The print head height is then adjusted and the cutter and print headsare controlled based on the media used and environmental conditions for optimal printer control.Q. What is the multi-sensor?Printer sensors are used for print head positioning, feed amount and paper width adjustment, andother fine-tuning. This level of control maintains optimal printing conditions at all times. Newmulti-sensors in the iPF8000S and iPF9000S boast even higher performance to be used for colorcalibration as well.- Auto registration adjustmentThis feature uses a sensor to detect the print results concurrently when the printer prints a colorchart (pattern), automatically adjusting the print head positions and the paper feed amount in anoptimal manner. Highly reliable printing results are possible without tedious manual adjustments.- Auto print head height adjustmentThis feature automatically switches the print head to the optimal height for each media type. Thisprevents inadvertent failure to switch the print head heights, automatically setting the printhead-to-media clearance. Enhanced ink placement accuracy ensures quality-improved prints andreduced mist.- Color calibrationRefer to the section on color calibration for details.Q. What are other automatic adjustment and detection features?- Ink lampsWhen you open the ink tank cover, you will find ink lamps, each indicating the ink level of thecorresponding ink tank. The ink lamps are lit, flashing or unlit, thus providing an instant
