24 Calibrating Xpress
Calibrating Xpress
To work properly, Xpress needs to be correctly calibrated. Xpress is
calibrated at the factory and should not need recalibration. Improper
handling during shipping may make this step necessary. If discs are not
picked up from the input spindles, are being dropped off the trays or
output spindles or are going into drive or printer trays cockeyed, the
system must be recalibrated.
Calibration means making adjustments to the disc production system so
the operation runs smoothly.
Prepare for the calibration procedure
Place a few discs on spindles 1, 2 and 3. Start the calibration utility
program by double-clicking its desktop icon. The calibration utility’s
window will open.
Adjust the spindle calibrations
Click the Calibrate Position button and click on the button for the
spindle you wish to calibrate (S1 for example). The disc transport arm
will move over to the top of the spindle, move down close to the top of
the spindle and then stop.
If the arm is not centered exactly over the spindle, the calibration of the
spindle must be corrected. Use the two arrow buttons and to “bump” the
position of the arm counter clockwise or clockwise respectively. When
the arm is centered, click the Save button to accept the change. Recheck
the alignment by repeating this step. Click the Cancel button if no
change is necessary.
Repeat this step for spindles 1-4.
Adjust the calibration of the reject spindle
Click the Calibrate Position button and then the Rej button. A message
warning you to close all printer and drive trays will be displayed. Click
OK when all trays are closed. The disc transport arm will move over and
down to the reject spindle. As above, make any necessary adjustments
and click the Save button to accept the new position.
Adjust the drive calibration
There is no separate calibration for drives 1-4. Only one of the stations
(D1-D4) must be calibrated. Have at least one disc on spindle 3 and one
of the drive trays open. Click the Calibrate Position button and the D1
button. The disc transport arm will pick up a disc from spindle 3 and
move it over to the drive. Once it senses the drive tray, the arm will
move back and stop above the drive tray.
Check that the disc is properly centered above the drive tray and that it
is clear of the front of the drive. Drive trays are slightly beveled so it is
okay if the disc is a bit forward of center. When the position of the disc is
correct, click on the Save button.
