Use the Control Center to Gather the Calibration Data

1.Open the Control Center program.

2.Select Tools>Size Calibration from the Menu Bar. The win- dow in Figure 30 will appear:

3.Press the Send Size Plot button to print the factory stored calibration box. The printer will print a box that is 40” (102-cm) long on the X-axis and 30-in (76-cm) wide on the Y-axis.

	~40 in.

Figure 30. The Calibration box and measurements.

4.Precisely measure both sides (X) and the top and bottom (Y) of the box and record the results. Better accuracy in measurement equals better calibration.

5.Take the average of the horizontal (Y) values by adding them together and dividing by 2. Repeat this procedure for the verti- cal (X) values.

Example:

If X1 = 39.750-in and X2 = 39.700-in

The sum is 79.450-in (39.750-in + 39.700-in = 79.450-in)

The average is 39.725-in (79.450-in / 2 = 39.725-in)

The X calibration value is the average, 39.725-in

Enter the Calibration Data:

1.Enter the measured values in the boxes in the Calibration win- dow. Make sure the printer is in START (green light) mode. Select the Set Calibration button.

2.The Control Center will send the calibration values to the printer and the new Calibration Setting will be displayed in the boxes in the window pictured in Figure 31.

3.Click on Done when finished.

iNote

Only use Reset Calibration to restore original factory calibration settings.

Hint

The Get Plotter Data button will read the stored calibration settings from the printer and dis- play them in the Factor windows.

Hint

The factory-set calibration values are written on a small sticker on the under side of the right end cover. (See Figure 33.)
