1. Scan-Axis Calibration
The purpose of this Service Calibration is to calibrate the Printhead
in relation to the media and the Platen Assembly. This Calibration
also allows you to calibrate the Line Sensor and define the Line
Sensor ID.
The Scan-Axis Calibration performs the following:
Line Sensor to calibrate the intensity of the Line Sensor in the
Carriage PCA.
Printhead to Media Spacing.
NOTE If you get an error code, refer to Page 5-26, Calibration Error
Codes for its description and resolution.
NOTE To perform this Service Calibration for a specific LED in the
Line Sensor, the Line Sensor identifier (ID) is required. The Line
Sensor identifier is indicated on the label on the side of the Line
Sensor Assembly on the right side of the Carriage. If you do not
specify a correct value, the Printer will use default values for the
calibration. For the 5000 Series use the ID: 00 and for the 5500
Series use the ID: 20.
Perform Scan-Axis Calibration whenever:
Carriage is disassembled or replaced.
Encoder strip is disassembled or replaced.
