Paper Advance Calibration
The purpose of this Service Calibration is to calibrate the nominal advance
of the media. This calibration is necessary to control the exact movement of
the media in order to avoid print quality problems like banding.
If you need to perform a Paper Advance Calibration to solve a print quality
problem, it is recommended that you first try the Paper Advance Calibration
from the user´s menu, which will calibrate the printer to a specific paper
type.
Perform the Service Accuracy Calibration whenever:
Banding is detected in prints.
Service calibrations also need to be performed after removing or replacing
certain printer components. If you have removed or replaced printer
components, check the
Service Calibration Guide to Removal and
Installation to see which tests and calibrations you need to perform. Refer to
Page 6-8.
The Paper Advance Calibration is split into two parts and should always
be done in this order:
1 Print Calibration Pattern - The Printer first calibrates the Analog Encoder and
then prints the Paper Advance Calibration pattern.
2 Scan Calibration Pattern - The Printer scans the Paper Advance Calibration
pattern in order to calibrate the nominal advance of the media.
In order to perform the Paper Advance Calibration, you
mus t order the Z2100 /Z3100/ Z3100ps Pap er Advanc e
Calibration Kit, which contains two sheets of HP Universal
Instant-Dry Photo Gloss paper.
24 inch Q6675-60103
44 inchQ6677-60030
When you load the HP Universal Instant-Dry Photo Gloss
sheet, make sure you load it with the skew check.
Only scan the Calibration Pattern in the Printer that was
used to print it. Using the Calibration in a different Printer
could cause it to experience media advance problems. After
scanning the Calibration Pattern, it should be discarded.
