Service Calibrations This section shows you how to perform the following service calibrations. For best results, you should perform all three calibrations in this order:

Head Height

Media Thickness Sensor

Service Station

Calibrating the Head Height

1.Remove any media that may be loaded across the platen.

2.From the Front Page, select Calibration > Service Calibra- tions > Head Height Calibration.

The printer’s menu will prompt you to make sure the media is unloaded, then it raises the rail. Next, the carriage moves to the middle of the platen.

3.Insert the head-height gauge beneath the service (left) end of the carriage as shown below.

Ensure that the gauge is on the edge of the carriage and not the lamps.The proper location of the gauge is at the edge of the carriage pen plate. It should not be under the lamps or under a printhead (which would damage the printhead).
