Figure 69. Calculate Encoder Pitch: Print Calibration Message screen
5 Start the production line. When the paper or product moves under the printhead,
touch the Print Calibration Message button. The Enter Measured Calibration
Length button is enabled and the printer prints a calibration message.
NOTE: You may have to create a minimum of three calibration messages to
calculate an accurate encoder pitch. The number at the end of the
calibration message shows the number of messages printed.
6 Measure the length of the printed calibration message. This value is the distance
between the outer edges of the end arrows, shown by the red dots in Figure 68 on
page 68. For reference, when the length of the calibration message is 100 mm (plus
or minus 1 mm), the encoder pitch is accurate.
7 Touch the Enter Measured Calibration Length button to display the Measured
Calibration Length screen (see Figure 66 on page 67).
