Performing manual calibration

 

Manual calibration provides precise control of image placement. Vertical and horizontal image

 

registry for both the ADF and the glass can be set individually. For example, changing the

 

leading-edge adjustment for the ADF does not effect the leading-edge adjustment of the glass.

 

 

Note

Manual calibration increment values are in pixels (600 pixels-per-inch). All values are positive

 

numbers. The center adjustment value 2670 represents an imaginary center line through the ADF.

 

It may not be exactly centered due to mechanical tolerances between MFP units

 

 

 

 

Hint

Before attempting to manually calibrate the MFP, first try the automatically calibrating procedure

 

(see “Performing automatic Calibration” on page 47).

Lead adjustment for the ADF

HintIt might be helpful to reset the product settings to factory defaults before attempting manual calibration. Be sure to print a configuration page before doing a setting reset so that any user- defined settings can be restored (see “Configuration page” on page 130).

1Press the MENU button.

2Select DIAGNOSTICS.

3Select CALIBRATE SCANNER.

4Select LEAD ADJUSTMENT.

5The message Lead Adjustment ### Range 0-255appears on the control-panel display. Use the numeric keypad to type a value for the leading-edge adjustment.

Hint

Entering a lower value than current setting moves the image away from the leading edge (toward

 

the bottom of the page). Entering a higher value than the current setting moves the image toward

 

the leading edge (toward the top of the page).

 

 

6Press the SELECT ( ) button to save the setting.

7Use the ADF to scan a source document (use the calibration target page if you have already automatically calibrated the MFP). Verify that the leading edge is correctly positioned on the output copy.
