5.2.3.10 Platen Position (Sponge Position) Adjustment

Detect the position of each sponge on the platen. (See Figure 5-38)

„For Platen R, input the deviation of the printed pattern from the left end of the frame in which the sponge nearest to the 1st home is embedded.

„For Platen L, input the deviation of the printed pattern from the left end of the frame in which the 7th sponge counted from the home for Stylus Pro 7600 or the 9th sponge for Stylus Pro 9600 is embedded.

„Input a negative value for a deviation toward the home or a positive value for a deviation toward the side opposite to the home.

1.Start the Self-diagnostic Function:

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

2.Display “Adj: Sponge Pos.”:

[Paper Feed ∇] → [SelecType >] → [Paper Feed ∆] x4

3.Print the pattern: [Enter ↵ ] x2

4.Measure the platen position R:

Using a measuring rule, measure the distance from the left end of the frame in which the sponge nearest to the 1st home is embedded to the longitudinal line of the printed pattern.

Input the measured value on the panel.(See Figure 5-39)
