Manual Calibrations 4-9
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
“Checking Jet Health” on page 2-23 for tips on detecting and
recovering missing jets.
1. Press the Calibrate key from the Front Page screen, then
press Manual Calibrations in the menu.
The Manual Calibration menu consists of these options:
• Manual BiDi Registration (page 4-13) — the man-
ual version of AutoBiDi Calibration.
• Manual X Head Registration (page 4-10) — the
manual version of AutoH2H Calibration.
• Manual Jet Mapping (page 4-16) — the manual ver-
sion of AutoJet.
• Jet Status Lines (page 4-21) — prints a quick test
pattern that shows which jets are out.
• Media Feed Calibration
• Print Jet-Out Lines — prints a version of the Prime
Bars in which missing jets that are replaced are
marked with a black square.
• Default Registration Data (page 4-23) — sets all
registration data to zero.
After calibration and jet mapping, perform a linearization or
color calibration (as supported by your print server or RIP).
