When the calibration page has printed, the control panel displays this prompt:

Take readings from left side of pattern.

9.Press the ￿ key.

The control panel displays this message:

X Direction Registration

Head 2: +0

10.Examine the X direction pattern (in the left-hand group of patterns) for the current head, and determine which pattern of colored and black lines are the closest to perfectly aligned.

Use a printer’s loupe to select the pattern, since the lines in the patterns may be difficult to discern otherwise.

+0 +1 +2

Fig. 4-20. Sample head calibration patterns.

In this example, pattern “+1” is aligned the closest,

so “+1” would be entered.

11.Press the ￿ or ￿ control panel keys repeatedly until the number next to the pattern that is closest to aligned perfectly is displayed.
