Step Calibration
The printer step calibration is performed to verify and correct media feeding. The printer prints a complete image
pass by pass. A pass is the horizontal carriage sweep perpendicular to the media movement. After each pass the
printer moves the media forward for the next pass. This movement of media is called a step. The distance by
which the media is moved is called the step size and it has to be accurate. Step size errors cause horizontal white
or dark bands to appear in the print output.
Step size needs to be adjusted for multiple factors like thickness and roughness of the print media etc. Step
calibration should be used to fine adjust the step size and has to be done for each desired pass. On the fly, Step
value can be adjusted using the Steps field, as shown below:
