When paper advance ends, the system
is automatically filled with ink for the first
time and Printhead adjustment is started.
It takes a total of about 44 minutes.
Make use of this time by referring to
"Install the Software" on page 6 to install
the software on your PC.
MEMO
• Charging the system with ink fills the
system from the ink tanks to the printheads.
In addition, cleaning is performed to keep
the printer in optimal condition. This may
cause the remaining ink indicator and
maintenance cartridge capacity indicator to
drop some amount. The starter ink tank is
for first-time installation. It is recommended
that you purchase replacement ink tanks
quickly.
MEMO
After you have finished setting up the printer and installing the software, we recommend performing color calibration. Color calibration
compensates for changes in color from individual variation and aged deterioration of the printer, ensuring better color consistency. Perform color
calibration using the included paper, which is compatible with this process. For information on other compatible paper, refer to the Paper Reference
Guide.
During color calibration, on the control panel's display screen, open
(settings/adj. tab) and select
Adjust Printer - Calibration - Auto Adjust
.
The process of color calibration takes about 10 minutes.
To use the spectrophotometer unit (optional) to perform color calibration, refer to the "Color Calibration Using the Spectrophotometer Unit (option)"
in the User's Guide.
If you use the color calibration for color adjustment, it is useful to set the function to notify the execution period (Prompt Execution). For details of
the function, refer to "Color Calibration Using the Printer Sensor" in User's Guide.
When the setup is completed, refer to the various manuals to use the printer. Refer to "The Manuals Supplied with This Printer" on page 1.
