Calibration button to begin to measure the encoder pitch.
NOTE: You may need to adjust the position of the printhead if you do not print on
a sample product.
If the printer is in the ‘Idle’ state, the printer enters the ‘Jet Starting’ state, and then
the ‘Jet Running’ state. When the printer is in the ‘Printing’ state, the Print
Calibration Message button is enabled. The current encoder pitch is shown in the
“Encoder Pitch Information” box.
