Step Calibration
The printer step calibration is performed to verify and correct media feeding. The printer prints a complete
image pass by pass. A pass is the horizontal carriage sweep perpendicular to the media movement. After
each pass the printer moves the media forward for the next pass. This movement of media is called a step.
The distance by which the media 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 media etc.
Step calibration should be used to fine adjust the step size and has to be done for each desired pass. Step
value can be adjusted using the Steps field, as shown below:
