Printhead X Calibration

Precise positioning of each drop of ink is essential for optimal print quality. This is possible only if you register all printheads in the printhead assembly to each other in the X direction (along the direction of printhead carriage travel).

This is a two-part process:

●Print a registration pattern.

●Enter the X registration data for each head.

NOTE: This is the manual version of AutoH2H Calibration (see Auto calibrations on page 53).

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

2.Press Printhead X Calibration in the menu.

The control panel asks whether you want to print a manual head-to-head calibration page.

●If you need to print a new calibration pattern, press the Proceed (►) key. The printer prints a calibration page.

When the calibration page has printed, the control panel displays this prompt: Take readings from left side of pattern.

●If you have a calibration pattern from a recent print, you can use it to calibrate the heads. Press the Cancel key and go to the next step. (For best results, do not use a previously-printed pattern, print a new pattern.)

3.Press the Proceed (►) key.

The control panel displays this message: X Direction Registration Head 2: +0
