SOFTJET GRAND 

The Bi-Direction Calibration result is shown in the image below: 

 

Fig 45: The Bi-Direction Calibration Output 

Based on the above figure, you can notice that the Bi-direction calibration is good at 

“0”

 position. The 

correction value is 

“0”

 which means you need not to correct the bi-direction value. Sometimes, the 

correction value can either positive or negative. If the correction value is positive, then you need to 
add it in the current bi-direction adjust value or subtract the same if negative.  

 

Left to Right and Right to Left Calibrations 

Left to Right Calibration is performed to achieve dot placement accuracy of all colors (Black, Cyan, and 

Yellow) with respect to Magenta during the carriage’s left to right print swe

ep. Similarly, Right to Left 

calibration is used to achieve dot placement accuracy during the carriage’s right to left sweep. 

 

When the position of the test head is correct, then it would align perfectly with the reference color at 

“0”

  position, indicating  that the  error position is 

“0”

. If the  test  Print  H

ead’s position saved in the 

system is inaccurate then it would not align at 

“0”

 position, but at some other point on the calibration 

scale. The position at which the test head aligns perfectly with the reference head, indicates the error 
in position.
