For example, ink in position to be fired from the nozzle may become dried and

thus not fired through the nozzle. This effect is generally referred to as "decap"
and typically occurs when a maximum amount of time a nozzle may be idle (i.e.,
not firing or spitting ink drops) before an ink drop may be ejected from that
nozzle is exceeded. In addition, "slewing decap" generally refers to the maximum
amount of time a nozzle may be idle during a pass across a medium. Moreover,
because the nozzles are moving, the effects of "slewing decap" on the nozzles
are typically worse than "decap". As a consequence, slewing decap times are
generally shorter than decap times.

waktu non-aktif maksimum nozel luncur yang dapat diterima
Sebelum memberikan padanannya, saya ingin memberikan analisis linguistik sbb:
dalam bahasa Inggris ada kata
limit = batas
dan kata ini bisa menjadi kata kerja dg penambahan awalan 'de-'
delimit = membatasi
Dg analisis yg sama,
cap = tutup, penutup
decap = menutup, menutupi
Menurut rujukan berikut ini, 'decap' merujuk pada keadaan di mana tinta yg akan disemprotkan dari nozel
mengering dan dg demikian tidak dapat disemprotkan melalui nozel tsb karena waktu non-aktif (idle, tidak
menyemprotkan tinta) maksimum nozel sudah terlampaui.
Tinta yg mengering inilah yg membuat nozel tsb tertutup atau tersumbat. Karena itu, untuk menggambarkan
keadaan ini digunakan istilah 'decap' (menutupi, yaitu tinta yg terlanjur kering sebelum disemprotkan tsb
menutupi mulut nozel).
Jadi, tintanya mengering ketika masih di nozel, bukan setelah disemprotkan di atas kertas.
Selanjutnya,
slew = slide in another direction = meluncur/bergeser ke arah lain
Yg meluncur di sini tentu saja nozel penyemprot tinta.
Yg terakhir dan berdasarkan uraian di atas,
slewing decap = keadaan di mana tinta yg akan disemprotkan dari nozel mengering dan dg demikian tidak
dapat disemprotkan melalui nozel karena waktu non-aktif (idle, tidak menyemprotkan tinta) maksimum nozel
sudah terlampaui ketika nozel sedang meluncur/bergeser (Catatan: nozel pada printer kan selalu
meluncur/bergeser ke kiri dan ke kanan ketika pencetakan sdg berlangsung.)
Dari semua uraian di atas, saya mengusulkan
acceptable slewing decap time = waktu non-aktif maksimum nozel luncur yg dapat diterima
Ref.:
For example, *ink* in position to be fired from the nozzle may *become dried* and thus *not fired through the
nozzle.* *This effect* is generally referred to as *"decap"* and typically occurs when a maximum amount of
time a *nozzle* may be *idle* (i.e., not firing or spitting ink drops) before an ink drop may be ejected from
that nozzle is exceeded. In addition, *"slewing decap"* generally refers to *the maximum amount of time a
nozzle may be idle* during a *pass across a medium.* Moreover, because the nozzles are moving, the effects
of "slewing decap" on the nozzles are typically worse than "decap". As a consequence, slewing decap times are
generally shorter than decap times.
To reduce the negative effects of decap, the spittoon typically performs servicing operations on the printheads
as well as capping the nozzles when the printheads are idle for a certain period of time.

waktu penguapan pelarut tinta yang dapat diterima

Slew decap is a term of art used to identify this phenomenon in which the current of air causes evaporation of
a solvent vehicle component of the ink. In general, evaporation of the solvent vehicle alters the chemical
composition of the ink. More particularly, the change in chemical composition results in a less visible drop of
ink on the print medium
