Color Deadband Test
Color Deadband compensation provides a method for adjusting dot placement. In bidirectional printing mode, the
velocity of the carriage causes dots to miss the target area on the media. This test provides a way to check and
adjust for best printing results.
Note
To correctly see the yellow color on the test pattern it is necessary to use a blue light source.
1. At the Control Panel, select Utility Menu/Calibration Menu/Color Db Menu/Color Db Test. A test pattern
prints.
2. Use an eye loupe and choose the best group of vertically aligned bars in the test pattern for each color.
Record the number for each and enter the value(s) if required by pressing the color and updating the
number. This value should be between 9 and 11.
3. Proceed to the Color Calibration - Horizontal test in the next section
Note
Always perform a Color Deadband Test whenever a print cartridge has been removed and then reinserted.
