EPSON Stylus Pro 7600/9600 Revision A

5.2.3.9 Rear Sensor Position

Make this adjustment to detect the length of cut paper correctly.

To ensure a maximum printable area relative to the paper tail end, adjust the Rear Sensor position inside the firmware with the nozzle position as the reference.

Please Set Cut Sheet

Set cut paper and press [Enter]

Set an A3 sheet in the portrait position, make the printer draw a horizontal line (black 1-dot line) at 14 mm from the sheet tail end. Then measure the distance from the sheet tail end to the line and input the measured value as the compensation value.

The input value, handled as the compensation value, is written in the Flash ROM.

„Resolution: 0.1mm

„Pattern drawing method: 360dpi, Uni-D, 240CPS, NormalDot2

NOTE 1: This adjustment is necessary in the manufacturing process. After that, however, execution of this item is not necessary even once Feed Correction is made.

REAR SENSOR POSITION ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE

1.Start the Self-diagnostic Function:

Power OFF → [Paper Feed ∆]+[Paper Feed ∇]+[Cut/Eject] → Power ON

2.Display “Adj: Rear Sensor Pos.”:

[Paper Feed ∇] → [SelecType >] → [Paper Feed ∆] x5

3.Print the pattern:

Set a sheet of A3-size plain paper (portrait) and press [Enter ↵ ]. (See Figure 5-36)

4.Measure the distance:

Using a measuring rule, measure the distance. Input the measured value on the panel. (See Figure 5-37)
