[Auto Inspection]
Overview
Automatic inspection uses sensors to automatically detect spots and stains on images produced during printing, and then rejects output paper that has problems.
This function reduces labor costs associated with making manual inspections, while also helping to improve the efficiency of the printing process.
Tips
- Textured paper, unprinted insertion paper, paper with punch holes, tab paper, and insertion paper are not subject to automatic inspections.
- You can perform inspections when using paper with the numbering and page numbers already printed on it, or when using the stamp copying function for the date and time, by specifying the areas not targeted for inspection.
- [Auto Inspection] can also be set with AccurioPro Print Manager.
Reference
- For details about the automatic inspection area, refer to Automatic Inspection Area.
