Step 11: Printer Calibrations

NOTE: Refer to Technical Bulletin 1 for the specific printing application required. Most customers should use the following procedure to obtain the best print quality output.

A.Activate the dryer system to warm the printer up for optimum calibration performance. Wait approximately 5 minutes after completing steps 1a and 1b below before proceeding to Step 2.

a)Set dryer to a heat setting of 4 (Low Heat, Fans). At control panel select Setup Menu – Dryer Menu - Dryer Setting. Select Next or Prev to a setting of 4 and press Ok.

b)Activate the dryer. At control panel select Utility Menu – Service Menu – Diagnostics Menu – Accessory Menu – Dryer Status. The T1 and T2 (temperature sensors) will begin to slowly climb to the target temperature value (i.e. 40 degrees C).

NOTE: the new calibration menu structure is different from the previous firmware version; please review the 3 calibration paths available:

B.Activate the Line Length Test under Line Length Menu (Utility Menu – Calibration Menu – Paper Calib Menu - Line Length Menu – Line Length Test), using a draftsman ruler, measure and enter exact

value under Image Quality Value

(i.e. 33.02 inches/83.90 cm).

NOTE: a 35 inch ruler print file is provided on the System CD or may be downloaded from the Encad support web site http://www.encad.com/Support/ Tech-Support-Resources/RTL-Test-Image- Downloads/index.asp

The file can be printed using the EFPU program supplied on System CD (load software utilities) or can be obtained from the following link: http://www.encad.com/Support/ Tech-Support-Resources/ENCAD-Tech-Support-Utilities/index.asp
