DisplayMaker Legacy X-12+ - User Manual

4-10 Manual Calibrations
Manual Head Registration The printer creates images by firing dots of ink onto a sheet of
media. Precise positioning of each dot is essential for optimal
print quality. This is possible only if you register all printheads
in the printhead assembly to each other in both the X (along the
length of the platen) and Y (along the length of the media) direc-
tions.
This is a two-part process:
◆ Print a registration pattern.
◆ Enter the X and Y registration data for each head.
