The test plot consists of six horizontal color bands with a black pattern mask on top of them. Each band is
split in to two horizontal areas corresponding to the die 0 and die 1 for the specific color. The plot is printed in
unidirectional mode at 40ips.
Corrective action
If an fault is found with the encoder strip, replace the Encoder Strip.
Misregistration check
This plot helps you to visually check any alignment problems of the printer caused by substrate expansion.
You use it to precisely measure the substrate expansion error with 2 dots row accuracy. To print this test plot
go to Menu List > 2. Image Quality Plots > 2.7 Misregistration Check. The plot is split into two main areas, the
left (B) and the right (A) areas. Each area is made of a basic substrate expansion pattern, which allows the
measurement of the misregistration produced by the substrate expansion.
The error is measured on the pattern where the vertical black line is aligned with the Cyan vertical line. At this
point, the misregistration error can be measured by reading the corresponding number in the right vertical
alignment.
