Calibrating the Océ 5250
The following three adjustments are available on the printer:
Head alignment (Auto-registration)
to control the relative dot position of each
print head, to ensure an optimal overlap of coloured dots.
X-alignment
to control the smoothness of area fills
X-accuracy
to control the accuracy of vector dimensions
The calibration process involves the following phases:
■
Printing the registration print (print head alignment)
■
Printing the X-alignment print, then entering an X-alignment correction
value, if necessary
■
Printing the X-accuracy print, and entering an X-accuracy correction value,
if necessary
■
Setting the priority between the X-alignment and the X-accuracy
Note:
These three adjustments are independent of each other. You can make
one or two at a time. All three adjustments are necessary to have a fully
calibrated printer.
Note:
The carriage height also affects the printer precision. To adjust the
carriage height, see ‘Adjusting the carriage height’ on page 146.
