Calibrating the Printer
March 2001 1-7
Using the Densitometer to Read Densities
NOTE: For LED Gen I devices, you read only one neutral strip.
Do the following to scan the neutral (gray) patches on the processed test print into
the densitometer (refer to your densitometer manual for detailed instructions on
using the densitometer):
1. Slide the lever on the densitometer to position 15. Align the edge of the test
print with the lever on the densitometer. Gently feed the test print through the
densitometer to scan the patches labeled “even”.
2. Slide the lever on the densitometer to position 20. Align the edge of the test
print with the lever on the densitometer. Gently feed the test print through the
densitometer to scan the patches labeled “odd”.
3. Slide the lever on the densitometer to position 30. Align the edge of the test
print with the lever on the densitometer. Gently feed the test print through the
densitometer to scan the patches labeled “both”.
If the test print is read successfully, several messages will appear in the status
bar; the final message indicates that the densitometer values have been
successfully received. Go to “Completing the Calibration” on page 1-10.
If the test print is not read successfully, refer to Section 2, Troubleshooting.
