The following Calibrations can be performed on the printer:

The Accuracy Calibration needs to be performed whenever:

» Banding is detected in printed images.
» The Feed Roller Assembly is disassembled or replaced.
» The Paper-Axis Motor Drive Assembly is disassembled or replaced.
» The Encoder Disc is removed or replaced.

The purpose of the Printhead Alignment is to correct the alignment between the printheads in order to prevent color misalignment and print quality defects like banding. Normally the Printhead Alignment is launched automatically after a Printhead has been replaced. The Printer prints the Printhead Alignment page and scans the pattern on the page in order to align the printheads.

It is recommended that you calibrate color every time you replace a printhead or when you perceive color degradation on the printouts. There is no need to perform this operation each time you print. The results of the color calibration will be applied to all print jobs that follow, even if you power off the printer.
