Improving Print Quality

If you suspect that print quality is poor, perform the Pattern Test (see Pattern Test). If the results are poor, use the following procedure to improve print quality.

If the results of the last pattern test are poor:

1.

From the Options menu, select Purge Sequence, or press F4.

2.

In the confirmation dialog box, click Yes.

The print heads are purged of Model and Support material, and the wiper removes excess material from them.

3.

Repeat the purge sequence.

4.

Perform the pattern test.

If the results of the pattern test are still poor:

1.

Manually clean the print heads (see Cleaning the Print Heads and the Roller).

2.

Perform the purge sequence.

3.

Perform the pattern test.
