4-12 Manual Head Registration

Use a printer’s loupe to select the pattern, since the lines in

the patterns may be difficult to discern otherwise.

10. Press the

control panel keys repeatedly until the

number next to the pattern that is closest to aligned perfectly

is displayed.

For example, if pattern +2 is the closest aligned, press the b

key to change the display to:

X REG

HEAD-1 +2

If a print head is extremely out of alignment, there may be

no pattern in alignment. Since the black vertical bars are

five pixels apart, you can add +5 or -5 to a pattern number

to shift the colored bars right or left by one black bar. Alter-

natively, you can repeatedly perform an X calibration, which

will move the head in smaller increments, until the head is

aligned.

11 . P r e s s

(Proceed).

The control panel message increments the head number by

one.

12. Repeat steps 9 through 11 for each of the heads.

When you have entered registration values for all the heads,

the control panel displays this message:

Y REG

HEAD-7 +0

X registration is complete. You are now ready to begin Y reg-

istration.

13. Examine the Y registration pattern for the current head, and

determine which pattern of colored and black lines are the

closest to perfectly aligned.

Fig. 4-1. Sample head calibration patterns.

In this example, pattern “+1” is aligned the closest,

so “+1” would be entered.
