XY calibration
Choosing Utility/Paper Axis Test lets the printer draw a set of
vertical marks to calibrate the paper axis and a set of horizontal
marks to measure the carriage axis. To measure the marks laid down
by the printer, you will need a ruler or scale at least 33 inches (838.2
mm) long. The vertical marks should be exactly 33.00 inches (838.2
mm) apart. The horizontal marks should be exactly 21.00 inches
(533.4 mm) apart. If the distance between the marks is different from
that shown on the display, you adjust the printer by setting its
values to match the length or width you measured.
When you set the XY calibration values, all subsequent images are
printed using the new values until you manually reset the calibration.
The XY calibration values are only used when the Use XY Calibra-
tion option is set to On (see Chapter 2). XY calibration should not be
used for merged vector/raster images.

To print the XY calibration test pattern
1 Load the printer with media that is at least 36 (91 cm) inches long (or
the media that you are going to run; you cannot load a 36" sheet and
then run the calibration from a roll feed because the line lengths will
not match).
2 Press Utility/Calibration/Paper Axis Test.
The printer prints two marks.
3 Remove the media from the printer and measure the distance
between the witness marks. The distance between the marks should
be exactly 33.00 inches (838.2 mm).
