Printhead alignment diagnostics plot
The printer offers a printhead alignment diagnostics plot, to assess the quality of the current printhead
alignment. To print it, in the Internal Print Server select Printer > Printhead alignment > Verify alignment >
Print.
NOTE: You can use the diagnostics plot to check printhead alignment after an automatic or manual
alignment. However, if shows misalignment after an automatic alignment, you cannot fine-tune the
automatic alignment, so the only way to improve the alignment is with a manual alignment.
The next picture shows an example of the diagnostics plot. Each part is described following the terminology
of the manual alignment. Row0 is the row of printheads closer to the substrate output, while Row1 is the row
of printheads closer to the substrate input. In the same plot there is an area in which the carriage layout is
described with the appropriate labels, just for reference.
Zone 1: Printhead Row0 alignment check (closer to the substrate output)
This area shows the printhead-to-printhead alignment for the first row of color printheads. Each printhead
has crosses, where it is compared to a reference printhead. In this case the black printhead has been chosen
as a reference.
The colors are labeled C0, M0, Y0, c0, m0, where the ‘0’ specifies that it is the first row of printheads. In each
case, the inner cross should be aligned with the outer cross.
