◆Warnings & Actions (page 2-18), shown in Expert Messages Mode only

This section explains each of the functions on the printer menu.

Calibrate Printer For details on these options, see Chapter 4, Calibrating the Printer.

◆Manual Calibrations — allow you to calibrate the media feed advance accuracy, and perform the various compo- nents of the automatic AutoSet calibration visually, without the printer’s digital imaging sensor. Inaccurate judgments by the operator during these tests could result in substandard output. In most cases, use AutoSet instead. See “Manual Cal- ibrations” on page 4-3 for instructions.

◆Auto Calibrations — enables you to run a portion of the AutoSet calibration, to save time. See “Auto Calibrations” on page 4-19 for instructions.

◆AutoTune — schedules AutoSet to run automatically after a certain number of prints have printed. See “AutoTune” on page 4-20 for instructions.

◆Calibration Summary — prints summary information with the AutoSet calibration test patterns, or transmits registra- tion or jet data to a log file on the print server. “Calibration Summary” on page 4-21 for details.
