Manual Pen Alignment
Pen Alignment should be performed when a new
printhead is installed. If you experience a decrease in
print quality with an installed printhead, you may need
to perform this service.
• Load 4 pieces of blank, unprinted media into
the input hopper.
• Click the Align button, and 2 discs will load to
the belts and be printed.
• Select the Alignment Speed. 20ips is the recommended
setting.
• Use these discs to select the patterns that are best aligned
in the next window, as shown to the right. All 8 entries
must be made. In the example shown, the first 3 selections
have been made.
• After selecting the patterns with the best alignment, click
Align.
• The pen alignment discs will print again. The best aligned
patterns should have moved closer to the center (they do not need to be in the center, only
closer to the center than the original set of discs). If so, click Cancel. If not, enter the values
from the second set of discs and click OK; you will need to load 2 more blank discs.
Support
Clicking the Support button will open the Microboards Technology Support website in your default
internet browser. This function requires an internet connection.
Disc Printing
The PF-Pro Disc Printer system has been aligned at the factory, but may need to be adjusted
depending on the type of media and media print surface on which you are printing. Follow these
steps to adjust the alignment:
• Click System Preferences in the Dock.
• Select Print & Fax.
• Click the Set Up Printers… button.
• Highlight the Microboards PF-Pro icon.
• Click the Utility button to open the
Microboards Printer Utility.
• Select Disc Printing from the list.
• Enter the values listed with the PF-Pro Disc
Printer into the Top Side and Left Side boxes.
• Click the Apply Now button.
• Test the alignment by printing a full-coverage image (120 mm by 120 mm) onto an unprinted
disc. The image should print centered on the disc. If not, adjust the Top Side and Left Side
as necessary, verifying the alignment by printing the same image.
