Performing the Accuracy Calibration
Enter service mode page 762.
Plot a service configuration plot page 8623.
Measure the distance between the centers of the •X" marks on the configuration plot.
An accuracy calibration is needed if this distance is not
500 mm (20 in) 1 mm (0.04 in) under normal environmental conditions.
If the measured accuracy, media thickness, or environmental conditions vary greatly from the factory standards, recalibrate the plotter by continuing with the following steps.
4Place a sheet of media (preferably inkjet polyester film) over the top of the plotter for 10 minutes to let the sheet stabilize to the environmental conditions.
Use a sheet approximately 61 x 91 cm 24 x 36 in.
5Select the appropriate Media Type on the front panel.
6Load the media in portrait orientation into the plotter.
If using inkjet polyester film, load the film with the matte dull side down.
7When the Ready LED lights up, hold down the
SHIFT key and press Accuracy Calib. Print.
The LED lights up and the plotter plots a calibration plot. The plotter ejects the sheet, and the Load Media LED lights up.
8Unload the sheet.

9Reload the sheet facedown into the plotter, in the direction indicated by the arrows on the calibration plot.
If the plotter is D/A1 size, the sheet does not fit in the entry slot in the orientation indicated by the arrows. In this case, cut the blank end off the media so that it fits. Cut along the long line on the plot; the cut must be very straight so that the sheet can be loaded.
