Bidirectional Calibration
Bi-directional calibration
is performed to achieve printing accuracy between the “Left to Right” and “Right
to Left” print sweeps. If the bi
-direction offset value is correct, the Left to Right test print would align
accurately with the Right to Left test print at “0” position. In
case of error in the BI-DIR offset, the Left to
Right and Right to Left print would align at some other point on the scale. To check the BI-DIR calibration,
select the Test Print option available under the ADJUST BI-DIR menu. The Bi-Dir test result is shown in the
below figure:
Fig 60: Displaying the Bidirectional Calibration
In the above figure, carefully observe the pattern at which position it is correct. The correction value can
be either positive or negative. Enter the exact value in the given field (Refer to Fig 65) and verify the result
by issuing the
TEST PRINT
command.
Follow these steps to perform bidirectional calibration:
Step 1:
Press the
MENU
button from the
Control Panel
. The list of sub-menu appears on the screen.
Step 2:
Press the Up or Down arrow button and select the
ADJUST BI-DIR
option, as shown below:

Step 3:
Press the Right arrow button to confirm the selection and press the
ENTER
button to issue the
test printing, as shown below:
Fig 62: Issuing the Test Printing Command
The
ADJUST BI-DIR
screen consists of two setting options viz.
SIMPLE SETTING
and
DETAIL SETTING
. Here,
the SIMPLE SETTING option is used. In case, the SIMPLE SETTING option is not effectively resolving the
printing quality, then it is advisable to use the DETAIL SETTING option.
