Service Calibrations
   

The following is a list of all internal Service Calibrations available in the Printers. Instructions for entering the Service Calibrations menu are given on Entering the Service Calibrations Menu.

 

1. Scan-Axis Calibration
The purpose of this Service Calibration is to calibrate the Printhead in relation to the media and the Platen Assembly. This Calibration also allows you to calibrate the Line Sensor and define the Line Sensor ID.
2. Service Station Calibration
The purpose of this Service Calibration is to calibrate the Service Station in relation to the Carriage Assembly.
3. Accuracy Calibration
The purpose of this Service Calibration is to calibrate the nominal advance of the Paper-Axis Motor, changing the factory default values stored on the EEROM. This calibration is necessary to control the exact movement of the media in order to avoid print quality problems like banding.
4. Carriage Height Calibration
The purpose of this Service Calibration is to adjust the distance between the Carriage and the Center Platen. This calibration is necessary in order to prevent problems like Printhead crashes.
