Advance Calibration

It is important that the paper loaded￿for this calibration is exactly that used for normal printing, both in quality (for example, glossy paper) and in width (for example, A0 or 36-inch). Either roll or sheet paper can be used.

The routine prints a pattern and then cuts the roll (the cutter must be set to ON - see Controlling the Cutter) or ejects the sheet; it requires paper that is at least 65 cm/25.5 inches long and at least 50 cm/19.7 inches wide. You must then reload that piece of paper as a sheet, so that the printer can accurately measure the pattern, and make whatever adjustments are appropriate to the amount it advances between printing swaths of data. (See Loading Sheet Media)

The pattern printed is solely for the use of the printer; you are not expected to relate any of its characteristics to the quality of your images.

1.	From the main front-panel menu, with the correct paper loaded, select the Paper menu (					) and press Enter.
