Image Sensor Tests: 

this submenu tests various functions of the Image Sensor. The 

Image  Sensor  is  the  imaging  device  used  to  measure  media  and  perform AutoSet 

calibrations.

Visually Examine LEDs: 

allows the operator to visually examine if each LED is 

firing correctly. The control panel will indicate what LED should be operating at a 

given moment.

Whitepoint: 

tests the Image Sensor’s sensitivity to whitepoint readings.

Take a Picture of White Paper: 

the Image Sensor takes a picture of the media 

and then prints a 400% enlargement of what was seen. This option can help 

identify a dirty lens.

Take Raw Picture of Dots: 

prints a small pattern of dots and takes a picture, then 

prints a magnified image of what was seen. This test is principally for checking 

hardware functionality.

Take Enhanced Picture of Dots: 

similar to above, but uses the printer’s refine-

ment algorithms to image and print the picture. This test is principally for check-

ing software functionality. Run the “Take Raw Picture of Dots” first to confirm 

hardware functionality.

Color Sensor Tests:

 this submenu tests various functions of the Color Sensor (also 

called  Photodiode). The  Color  Sensor  is  the  imaging  device  used  to  perform  color 

linearization and color profiling.

Blackpoint and Whitepoint: 

tests the Color Sensor’s sensitivity to whitepoint and 

blackpoint readings.

Visually Examine LEDs: 

allows the operator to visually examine if each LED is 

firing correctly. The control panel will indicate what LED should be operating at a 

given moment.

Test Cooling Fan:

 allows the turning on or off of the fan over the color sensor.
