Test 3 (Verticals) Vertical-line straightness is a measure of the horizontal distance between the seg-
ments of a vertical line printed in two consecutive swaths. If the printer is working
correctly, this distance should be less than 2 mils. There are two types of errors
that may be shown by this test:
Bidirectional error (the lines are vertical but are not correctly aligned). If you
print the same print using a unidirectional print mode, the error should not
appear. This error can occur for various reasons, including:
– Incorrect distance between nozzles and media
– Encoder-strip slots are damaged or dirty
– Dirt on the pulley is causing the belt to slip
– Friction between carriage bushings and slider rod.
Inclined lines error. This occurs when the rows of nozzles on a cartridge are not
perpendicular to the carriage axis (Y-axis). This error can occur for various
reasons, including:
– Badly seated cartridge
– Faulty cartridge
– Faulty carriage.
