The purpose of this Service Calibration is to calibrate the Printhead in relation to the media and the Platen Assembly. The Scan-Axis Calibration performs the following:

νLine Sensor to calibrate the intensity of the Line Sensor in the Carriage PCA.

νPrinthead to Media Spacing.

If you get an error code, refer to Page 5-26, Calibration Error Codes for its description and resolution.

To perform this Service Calibration for a specific LED in the Line Sensor, the Line Sensor identifier is required. The Line Sensor identifier is indicated on the label on the side of the Line Sensor Assembly on the right side of the Carriage. If you do not specify a correct value, the Printer will use default values for the calibration.

Perform Scan-Axis Calibration whenever:

νCarriage is disassembled or replaced.

νEncoder strip is disassembled or replaced.

νCenter platen is disassembled or replaced.
