Calibrating the PCU | 11
Calibrating the PCU After setting up the PCU, follow the steps below to calibrate it. The recommended initial settings for the
PCU are a temperature of 190 °C and a speed of 1.5. To cure properly, the Epson DirectPlate Aluminum
plate should reach an even surface temperature of 150 to 160 °C.
Note:
Depending on the temperature and the altitude where the PCU is located, you may need to adjust these settings
slightly.
Use the included THERMAX temperature strips and run a plate through the PCU with the strips set
across the plate. The THERMAX strips should read between 150 to 160 °C for the plate to be cured
correctly.
