4. Straighten the media – after loading media in the normal routine – by holding the feed roller guide (round
plastic guide) at right side with one hand and then simultaneously pressing the Feed Media/Forward button
on the Control Panel. Drive the media forward until it pulls against the media roll. Do not allow guide to
rotate, resistance is the key to pulling the media straight. Loud noise and vibration will occur – this is normal,
but do not allow the roll to walk out of cradle. Again, verify that the rear media guides are not touching the
media edges.
Line Length Test
The Line Length Calibration sets the printer paper speed to print accurate length lines.
1. At the Control Panel, select Utility Menu/Calibration Menu/Paper Calib Menu/Line Length Menu/Line
Length Test. The printer prints a 33 inch line.
2. Using a draftsman’s ruler, measure the precise distance between the “Ts” and write that value (e.g., 33.02
inches) down – you will need it below.
3. Choose which is more important:
· minimizing micro-banding (for most graphic images this is probably the best choice!) - go to step 3a.
or
· line length accuracy - go to step 3b.
a. At the Control Panel select Utility Menu/Calibration Menu/Paper Calib Menu/Line Length Menu/Img
Qual Value and enter the measured Line Length value from step 1.
b. At the Control Panel select Utility Menu/Calibration Menu/Paper Calib Menu/Line Length Menu/Line
Length Value and enter the measured Line Length value from step 1.
4. You will be prompted to Select User (1-8)/Save User. This will now be the default value for this type of Media in
the User that you have selected.
