Non Stop Printing

Non-Firing Detection and Compensation System
The in-built sensor in the printer detects any blockage in the print head nozzle on the fly. Once detected, another nozzle starts firing automatically immediately thus providing a backup. This prevents any wastage due to banding issue and also reduces head cleaning frequencies thus saving on the ink.

Software like Accounting Manager to track ink & media usage, Media Configuration Tool to manage, update & arrange media information and Device Management Console.
