1. A method for implementing a selected profile for jet detection in a printing system, the printing system comprising a processor for processing documents containing image data, a plurality of jets for outputting test images and document images onto an imageable surface, and a jet detection device comprising at least one or more sensors for reading the output test images on the imageable surface to detect faulty jets, the method comprising the following acts implemented by the processor: providing a plurality of predetermined profiles for the jet detection device to a user interface associated with the printing system, each profile comprising at least a time relating to a print cycle and a location for printing output test images on the imageable surface using one or more of the plurality of jets and sensing using the at least one or more sensors; receiving a selected profile of the plurality of profiles selected for jet detection; determining at least the time and the location for printing output test images on the imageable surface using the received selected profile, and implementing the received selected profile for one or more print jobs of the printing system including printing output test images on the imageable surface at the time and location of the selected profile, and wherein upon receipt of another selection, the processor is configured to receive, determine, and implement another selected profile of the plurality of profiles comprising at least a time relating to a print cycle and a location for printing output test images on the imageable surface using one or more of the plurality of jets and sensing using the at least one or more sensors that is different from the received selected profile.
