Calibrate Printer
This menu consists of the following options:
◆ AutoSet Calibration
- runs the printer’s automatic jet map-
ping and x-y alignment routine. The printer prints a series of
calibration patterns, automatically reads each one, adjusts
the print heads’ alignment, and repeats this cycle until the
heads are aligned. When AutoSet is complete, press
h
(Can-
cel) repeatedly until the control panel displays “Ready to
receive.” For further information, see “AutoSet Calibration”
on page 4-2.
◆ AutoBiDi
- runs just the bidirectional calibration, and not the
entire AutoSet calibration, when the head speed and print
mode are changed.
◆ AutoTune
- if the optional takeup motor is installed, allows
you to schedule AutoSet to automatically run after a certain
number of prints have printed. For further information, see
“AutoTune Scheduling” on page 4-5.
◆ Media Feed
- allows you to calibrate the paper advance
accuracy. See for “Media Feed Calibration” on page 4-6 for
instructions.
◆ Jet Status Lines
- prints the Jet Status Lines test pattern with-
out prompting for calibration values.
Expert Settings
These calibration options should be used only at the direction of
ColorSpan Technical Support. They allow you to manually per-
form the various components of the automatic AutoSet calibra-
tion. Inaccurate judgments by the operator during these tests
could result in substandard output. In most cases, use AutoSet
instead.
◆ Manual BiDi Registration
- prints bidirectional alignment
patterns and allows you to report which pattern is the most
precise. This pattern allows adjustments of one pixel. See
“Manual Bidirectional Registration” on page 4-9 for instruc-
tions.
◆ Manual Head Registration
- prints a registration pattern and
allows you to register the position of each print head. This is
the manual version of AutoSet Calibration. See “Manual
Head Registration” on page 4-11 for instructions.
◆ Manual Jet Mapping -
prints a pattern that enables you to
identify which jets are not firing ink. See “Manual Jet Map-
ping” on page 4-13 for instructions.
