Tools and Utilities Module

Tools and Utilities Module
Introduction
The Tools and Utilities Module has four sub-modules: Maintenance, Special Prints, Shutdown,
and System Logs. When you click on the Tools and Utilities tab, Automatic Maintenance always
appears first. Click on the other icons to access the sub-modules.
• Special Prints provides special prints for various purposes, such as reference, adjustment and
alignments. Some are for operator use and others are for service technician use only.
• Shutdown provides a way to properly power down the printer.
• Generate Logs allows the operator to generate log files for service diagnostics and
troubleshooting purposes.
• Job Manager allows you to perform Automatic or Manual maintenance.
Special Prints
The Special Prints module displays two lists. The list on the bottom shows the available special
prints. Some of these prints are used by service technicians to adjust and troubleshoot the
printer. Some are of interest to the Operator, such as the Ship print, the table ruler prints, and the
Nozzle Check print.
Special Prints of Interest to the Operator
• the Ship print is used to determine that the printer output meets quality standards. A ship print
that is printed at the factory is shipped with each printer. It can be used as a comparison with
one printed at the customer site.
• The Table Rulers are meant to be printed on the table to assist you to place media. These
images are set up to print on the horizontal and vertical axes of the table. They are available in
metric or imperial measure.
• The Nozzle Check is used to determine if there are any clogged nozzles that can affect print
quality (note that it is also available on the command toolbar in the Print Job Control module).
The list on the top shows all active jobs that are currently in the print queue. Add a special print
from the bottom into the top list to make it active in the Print Job Control module. If you remove
a job from this list, it is also removed from the Active job list and is not available to print. Special
print instances that are removed from the Active list do not go to the Inactive list; they are simply
removed.
