Testjobs - Film3&4 Geometric Accuracy check 
 
File Document: Geomtric Accuracy check.doc (on SilverWriters and 
BG7x8xx laser plotters.) 
Short explanation on Geometric accuracy check. 
1.  Repeatability. 
• 
Loading cyclus 
• 
Developer (speed, temperature and dry temperature stable) 
• 
Films 
• 
Room conditions 
• 
Film relaxation 
→
 Compare length of first slow scanline with last 
slow scanline. 
2.  Parallellogram distortion. 
• 
Parameters 8 & 9 
3.  Ysize = f (carriage position) in the corners. 
• 
Ysize table 
4.  Yoffset = f (carriage position). 
• 
Yoffs table 
5.  Ysize = f (carriage position) in the middle. 
• 
Ysize table 
6.  Making Ysize at 100E6 equal to Xsize. 
• 
Parameter 96 (drum circumference) 
7.  Eccentricity correction. 
• 
Secor (program which autmomatically calculates the eccentricity 
of the drum/rsf measuring scale) 
8.  Linear corrections. 
 
Parameters 97 & 98
 
 
 
 
 
 Remark: 
 
  A incorrect accuracy around the drum can be caused by a dirty RSF encoder.
