Calibrating the
Load Cells
Load cells are sensors that measure the weight of the material cartridges and
the waste container in the printer. It is important that you periodically check
that the weight measurements are accurate to prevent unnecessary waste of
printing materials. It is recommended that you calibrate the load cells once a
month.
To calibrate load cells:
1. Start the Load Cell Calibration wizard from the
Options
menu.
2. In the following screen, select one or more load cells that you want to
calibrate.
