Paper axis calibration
Choosing Utility/Calibration/Paper Axis Test lets the printer draw a set of
vertical marks to calibrate the paper axis. To measure the marks laid down by the
printer, you will need a ruler or scale at least 33 inches (838.2 mm) long. (CD#2
of the System CD set contains a ruler file than can br printed on your printer.)
The vertical marks should be exactly 33.00 inches (838.2 mm) apart. If the
distance between the marks is different from that shown on the display, you may
adjust the printer by setting its values to match the length or width you mea-
sured. Note: The Paper Axis Test should be performed every time new
media is loaded.
➪ To print the Paper Axis calibration test pattern:
1 Load the printer with media that is at least 36 (91 cm) inches long or
the media that you are using. You cannot load a 36" sheet and then
run the calibration from a roll feed because the line lengths will not
match.
2 Press Utility/Calibration/Paper Axis Test.
The printer prints two marks.
3 Remove the media from the printer and measure the distance
between the marks. The distance between the marks should be
exactly 33.00 inches (838.2 mm).
4 If the measurement is not exactly 33.00 inches, select "Paper Axis"
and adjust the value to the measurement read on the scale.
Cartridge recognition
The printer is designed to use only Kodak Professional cartridges. To eliminate
potential damage to the printer, a Cartridge Recognition feature checks to ensure
that the correct cartridges are installed, and that they are installed correctly.
Cartridge recognition is performed when a print request is received such as
image data or prime.
In addition to cartridge recognition, the printer automatically performs tests on
the cartridges and uses the information to improve image quality, monitor
cartridge life, and update the user with system status. Some tests are performed
between prints and require no user input, while others require user input.
