4-8 Manual Calibrations
Manual Calibrations When you run the calibrations from this menu, you evaluate the
calibration test patterns visually and enter the calibration values
via the control panel.
Note
The manual BiDi and X head calibrations are time-
consuming and can be error-prone, but is necessary
when calibrating transparent media or other media
that the printer’s digital image sensor cannot cali-
brate.
Before calibrating the printer, first clean the printhead jets. See
“Loading Roll-Fed Media” on page 3-16 for tips on detecting and
recovering missing jets.

version of AutoH2H Calibration.

of AutoJet.
◆ Jet Status Lines (page 4-19) — prints a quick test pat-
tern that shows which jets are out.

After calibration and jet mapping, perform a linearization or
color calibration (as supported by your print server or RIP).
