Accurate Calibration Technology (X-ACT)
Use XANTÉ’s patented X-ACT (3G) feature to calibrate your printer
in two ways, through the front panel MISC: XACT menu or through
XANTÉ Command Center’s More X-ACT menu.
Front Panel X-ACT
Your printer’s front panel MISC: XACT menu allows you to make
1/2 mm line length adjustments using the following procedure.
Note: To use the front panel XACT, you need a metric ruler with
1/2 millimeter rule markings. Also, you must use the paper
cassette, not the multipurpose feeder, when making X-ACT
adjustments. The adjustments for one size media apply to
every media size, so you do not have to make individual
adjustments for each size.
1. Make sure the printer is on and idle. Then, make sure that
media the size of your final output is loaded in the printer’s
paper cassette and the cassette is selected as the media source.
2. Press the Menu key until SETUP: MISC appears. Then, press
the Enter key.
3. Press the Menu key until MISC: XACT appears. Then, press
the Enter key.
4. Press the Menu key until XACT TEST PAGE appears. Then,
press the Enter key. A page prints with 2 lines, Line A and
Line B. The measurement listed by each line is the desired
length for that line on that media size. In this example, Tabloid
size 11" x 17" (257 mm x 431 mm) media is used. Line A
should be 251.46 mm and Line B should 388.61 mm.
5. Measure Line A. Use the following procedures to adjust the
printer for the correct line length.
a. Note the amount Line A is over or under 251.46 mm.
b. Press the Menu key until LINE A appears. Then, press
the Enter key.
