Carriage-to-carriage alignment
Purpose
Establishes carriage-to-carriage alignment in X and Y directions to improve print quality. X is the
process direction or drum rotation direction and Y is the carriage movement direction.
When to run
Run the routine in the following situations:
◦
To eliminate a line in the process (X) direction located in the center of the prints
◦
To diagnose vertical banding
Required time
2-22 minutes
The time variation is based on the temperature of the carriages. The MFP begins with a warm-up
period that can last from 0-20 minutes before the actual calibration begins.
Internal operations
The carriage-to-carriage alignment prints one special test pattern on Letter or A4 paper, and then
scans the pattern using the Tetris sensor (SN58). At the end of the procedure, the alignment data
is processed and stored in NVM.
