Improvements for the 3L supplies
Changes
With this firmware upgrade there are some Improvements and fixes for the 3L supplies subsystem.
Details
This version includes improvements to minimize system errors related to the refilling process, such as SE 47.3x and 47.9x, when the hardware is not the cause. Also implemented are changes to avoid, in certain specific scenarios, cartridges declared as “Out of Ink” when they still contain ink.
A new front-panel option to enable/disable the OMAS
Changes
This firmware upgrade introduces a new front-panel option to enable/disable the OMAS in the Modify Substrate screen.
Details
| This new option enables the operator to set the OMAS ON/OFF for a specific media type. All print modes within the media profile will be affected by this setting. It is recommended to load the substrate after disabling the OMAS and to synch the RIP settings to ensure the new configuration is properly applied. |  |
New OMS (media profile)
Changes
Addition of a new OMS (media profile) “Generic Self-Adhesive Vinyl optimized for small text
Details
| A new profile has been added in the SAV family which optimizes the sharpness of small text, this new profile contains a single print mode at 10 passes, CMYK cm and 110 Ink.
IMPORTANT: Be aware that the final throughput is highly affected. HP recommends using this print mode for applications that require sharper details, such as stickers with small fonts. |
