Tools and Utilities Module
Introduction
The Tools and Utilities Module has three sub-modules: Special Prints, Shutdown, and the System
Logs. When you click on the Tools tab, Special Prints 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
alignment. Some are for operator use and others are for service technician use only.
•
Shutdown provides the mechanism to properly power down the printer.
•
Generate Logs allows the operator to generate log files for service diagnostics and
troubleshooting purposes.

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: the Ship print, the table ruler prints, the Nozzle
Check print, and the Media Advance Correction Factor 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).
