Print Jet Map? If you have a calibration pattern from a recent print, you can use it to calibrate the heads. Press Cancel and go to the next step. Otherwise, press Proceed.. The printer prints a jet map test pattern. If a line segment is missing or broken, the jet number shown next to it is out. A code letter if present provides further information: ● R - no replacement ● S - user disqualified "soft" jetout ● H - user disqualified "hard" jetout ● D - disqualified (and replaced) by AutoJet 3. When the calibration pattern has printed, the control panel displays a menu with the following options: ● Report individual soft bad jets - enables you to report a "soft" bad jet, which can be automatically reenabled if AutoJet finds it working. ● Report individual hard bad jets - enables you to report a "hard" bad jet, which will not be checked or reenabled by AutoJet. ● Clear individual bad jets - enables you to clear (mark as good) a jet. ● View current bad jets - lists the bad jets on a given printhead. ● Clear all bad jets for a head - clears (marks as good) all jets on a selected head currently marked as unusable. ● Clear all bad jets - clears (marks as good) all jets currently marked as unusable. A "soft" bad jet is a jet that you believe is temporarily out, based on past performance. A "hard" bad jet is a jet that you believe is permanently out. Select an option and follow the corresponding procedure below.
