Manual Calibrations

When you run the calibrations from this menu, you evaluate the calibration test patterns visually and enter the calibration values via the control panel.

Note The manual BiDi and X head calibrations are time- consuming and can be error-prone, but is necessary when calibrating transparent media or other media that the printer’s digital image sensor cannot cali- brate.

1.Press the Calibrate key from the Front Page screen, then press Manual Calibrations in the menu.

The Manual Calibration menu consists of these options:

•Media Feed Calibration (page 4-9)— calibrates the media advance accuracy for band-free printing.

•Manual BiDi Registration (page 4-12)— the manual version of AutoBiDi Calibration.

•Manual X Head Registration (page 4-9)— the manual version of AutoH2H Calibration.

•Manual Jet Mapping (page 4-18)— the manual version of AutoJet.

•Print Jet-Out Lines (page 4-23)— prints a version of the Prime Bars in which missing jets that are replaced are marked with a black square.

•Default Registration Data (page 4-23)— sets all regis- tration data to zero.

After calibration and jet mapping, perform a linearization or color calibration (as supported by your print server or RIP).
