How to Calibrate the XY Transport Module
6.5.1
About Calibrating the XY Transport
There are two settings that must be calibrated to make sure cards are properly handed off from the image
printer to the XY transport. Each setting represents the number of steps the XY motors should take to get
to the specified location.
The
PrinterHandoffAdjustmentX
setting tells the XY transport how far toward the right of the
device (the X direction) it should move its carriage to pick up cards from the image printer.
The
PrinterHandoffAdjustmentY
setting tells the XY transport how far toward the front or rear of
the device (the Y direction) it should park to take cards from the image printer. The XY transport
should be far enough forward that cards coming out of the image printer slide into its card clamp and
push the spring-loaded rail (the “justifier”) at the printer exit a short distance (0.04” to 0.06”) toward
the front of the device. This pressure allows the justifier to straighten the card against the XY
transport’s card clamp.
If the XY transport needs to be calibrated, follow the steps in this section.
