The Step Calibration result image is shown as below: 

 

Fig 41: The Step Calibration Parameters 

First, feed the Base Step Value as 128000 (this is the approximate value and this need to be corrected by 
following the below steps).  

Follow these steps to perform step calibration: 

Step 1:

 Select the desired pass from the list and click on the 

Print

 button (Refer to Fig 40). 

Step 2:

 Feed the correction value in the 

Revise

 field (the correction value up to two decimal places) (Refer 

to Fig 41). 

Step 3:

 Click on the 

=>

 icon (Refer to Fig 41) on the Step Calibration window. The correction value result 

will be reflected in the 

Step

 field (Refer to Fig 41). The same step value will also be displayed in the 

Steps

 

field on the 

Quick Access Toolbar

 
Mechanical Checks 

Accurate mechanical alignment is the key for achieving good print quality. In case of misalignment, the 
Print Heads have to be adjusted manually using the provided tools and alignment should be re-verified 
iteratively until the Print Heads are perfectly aligned. 

 

Angle Check 

This test checks the mounting angle of all the Print Heads. Print Heads should be mounted at exactly 90 
degrees to the carriage scan direction. In the figure below, when the Print Heads are mounted correctly 
at 90 degrees, then an unbroken vertical straight line pattern is formed, as shown below:
