When performing the BI-D adjustments, always do them in this order: UNI-D ALL, then BI-D BLACK, and then BI-D ALL. Do not repeat the BI-D BLACK (K1) adjustment afterward.

1.Make sure the printer is turned on, then load roll paper that is at least 24 inches wide. For best results, use EPSON Doubleweight Matte paper (this is the type of paper that came with your printer). If you are realigning the JetPlate 7600, use the largest plate you can, process normally, and use a loupe to check the pattern on plate.

2.Press the SelecType button on the control panel. You see PRINTER SETUP.

3.Press until you see HEAD ALIGNMENT, then press . You see PAPER THKNS.

4.Press until *STD appears on the display. This is the correct thickness setting for most EPSON papers (also for JetPlate plates).

5.Press Enter.

6.Press the or button to select the desired alignment mode (UNI-D ALL, BI-D BLACK, or BI-D ALL), then press Enter to start printing the alignment patterns.

After they print, see the appropriate section on the following pages, depending on the selected mode.

Examining the UNI-D ALL Alignment Pattern

1.Depending on the width of the paper (or plate) loaded in the printer, more than one set of patterns may be printed. Locate the patterns in the middle of your printout. In the steps that follow, refer to those patterns to make your adjustment instead of the ones printed toward the left or right.

2.Look at the display screen on the printer. Notice that it is prompting you to choose the best line in the group labeled K2 in row #1.

3.Use your own eye loupe or the one that came with the printer to determine which line is the straightest. In this example, the middle line (numbered 5) is the best choice.
