When performing the BI-D adjustments, always do them in this order: UNI-D ALL, then BI-D
BLACK, and then BI-D ALL. Do not repeat the BI-D BLACK (K1) adjustment afterward.
1. Make sure the printer is turned on, then load roll paper that is at least 24 inches
wide. For best results, use EPSON Doubleweight Matte paper (this is the type of
paper that came with your printer). If you are realigning the JetPlate 7600, use the
largest plate you can, process normally, and use a loupe to check the pattern on
plate.
2. Press the SelecType button on the control panel. You see PRINTER SETUP.
3. Press
until you see HEAD ALIGNMENT, then press . You see PAPER THKNS.
4. Press
until *STD appears on the display. This is the correct thickness setting for
most EPSON papers (also for JetPlate plates).
5. Press Enter.
6. Press the
or button to select the desired alignment mode (UNI-D ALL, BI-D
BLACK, or BI-D ALL), then press Enter to start printing the alignment patterns.
After they print, see the appropriate section on the following pages, depending on the
selected mode.
Examining the UNI-D ALL Alignment Pattern
1. Depending on the width of the paper
(or plate) loaded in the printer, more
than one set of patterns may be
printed. Locate the patterns in the
middle of your printout. In the steps
that follow, refer to those patterns to
make your adjustment instead of the
ones printed toward the left or right.
2. Look at the display screen on the
printer. Notice that it is prompting
you to choose the best line in the
group labeled K2 in row #1.
3. Use your own eye loupe or the one that
came with the printer to determine which
line is the straightest. In this example, the
middle line (numbered 5) is the best
choice.
