"
Under normal environmental conditions and on HP inkjet polyester D/A1Ćsize media, plot
a drawing that contains two X" marks nominally positioned 500 mm (19.69 in.) apart.
Measure the distance between the centers of the X" marks on the plot.
Accuracy calibration is needed if this distance is not 500 mm (19.69 in)
1 mm (0.04 in).
If the measured accuracy, media thickness, or environmental conditions vary greatly from
the factory standards, recalibrate the plotter by continuing with the following procedure.
"
Read Before Performing the Accuracy Calibration above.
Place a sheet of HP inkjet polyester film over the top of the plotter for 10 minutes to let
the sheet stabilize to the environmental conditions.
Use a sheetof approximate size A1 or D.
You must use polyester film. Otherwise the optical sensor on the carriage will be
calibrated incorrectly, and the plotter will have problems loading some types of media.
