Identifying Printheads
Identifying Printheads
Each printhead is identified by the print station number and either the
letter “A” or “B.” When identifying the actual printheads as used in the
printing system, remember that printhead 1A is typically the first printhead
to print on the substrate (Figure 96). In this illustration, two color
configurations are shown, printing yellow, magenta, cyan, and black (Y,
M, C, and K) in order.

To correctly print a job, printheads must be identified in these three
places.
• In the current job
• In the displayed model of the printing system
• In the PSI configuration
If a printhead is not identified in all three places, an error or warning may
alert you to a problem, or expected controls for the printhead will be
unavailable. Use the following steps to identify a printhead.
Note: All INet addresses listed must be correct, as guided by “Assigning INet
Addresses to Print Stations” and “Defining Print Station INet Addresses.”
Usually these INet addresses are set during system installation, and they
do not need to be changed.
