Color plane registration occurs when new print cartridges are installed to compensate

 

 

for any slight variations that might occur in cartridge circumference.

 

 

DMAX is a density calibration of each print cartridge color at 100% coverage; DHALF

 

 

is also a density calibration of each print cartridge color, but as a halftone instead of

 

 

a full color. During halftone printing, the dots of toner are spread out, and coverage of

 

 

the toner is less than 100%.

Parameters

For color devices, specific engine settings related to the printing or

 

 

electrophotographic process are critical in identifying device status and function. The

 

 

electrophotographic parameters, which are used to detect, diagnose, and track print-

quality defects, appear in a 272-cell binary array that contains the settings registered by the device engine. These registers also appear at the bottom of the Diagnostics Page screen.
