2. 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.
Perform the Service Accuracy Calibration whenever:
•
Banding is detected in prints.
• Drive Roller is disassembled or replaced.
• Paper-axis Assembly is disassembled or replaced.
The Paper Advance Calibration is split into three parts and should always be done in this order:
•
Print Calibration Pattern - The Printer first calibrates the Analog Encoder and then prints the
Paper Advance Calibration pattern.
NOTE: In order to perform this Calibration, you should order the Paper Advance Calibration
Kit (Part Number Q1273-60296) which contains two cut sheets of HP Universal Instant-dry
Gloss Photo media (36-inches wide by 42-inches long) ⇒
All CLC profiles are deleted so you
will need to perform Color Calibration
again for every new media that is
loaded in to the Printer.
