Step Calibration
The printer step calibration is performed to verify and correct fabric feeding. The printer prints a complete
image pass by pass. A pass is the horizontal carriage sweep perpendicular to the fabric movement. After
each pass the printer moves the fabric forward for the next pass. This movement of fabric is called a step.
The distance by which the fabric 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 fabric etc. Step calibration should be used to
fine adjust the step size and has to be done for each desired pass.
