[Accept use for quality control sheets] |
Indicate if the media can be used for quality control sheets. You must also enable [Enable printing NAC quality control sheets on front side] and [Enable printing NAC quality control sheets on back side] settings to activate the print quality control mechanism.  NOTE
Cyclic, colored, very lightweight, expensive, and pre-punched media are not recommended for quality control sheets. Define alternative media to print quality control sheets. To define alternative media for quality control sheets, open the Settings Editor and go to: . |
|
Indicate if the front and back sides of the media are suitable for printing. When you disable one or both functions, you prevent that ink drops come on one or both sides of the media sheet. NOTE
These parameters also determine if the media sides are appropriate for refresh dots or refresh lines. |
|
Indicate if the front and back sides of the media are suitable for nozzle activity control. NOTE
Nozzle activity control can be performed by either printing nozzle activity control sheets or NAC markers.
If a media side is not suitable for nozzle activity control, the printer does not apply nozzle activity control on this side. If both sides of the media are not suitable for nozzle activity control, alternative media for quality control sheets is used (when configured). |
