Each area of the test pattern is used for a print quality parameter. The areas and the print quality parameters are listed in Figure 7.5.2.2. Figure 7.5.2.2 System Controller Test Print Pattern LEAD EDGE Test Print N17-941110-2-S 8.5x11 (SEF) SCAN We conduct many of ever, these mail s coverage.
7.5.3 Image Quality Checkout This procedure is used to check that the quality of the printed image meets the specifications. Refer to Figure 7.5.2.2. The Image Quality Checkout includes the following: 1) Solid Area Density 2) Background 3) Deletions 4) Fusing 5) Resolution 6) Registration (Lead Edge to Trail Edge) 7) Registration (Side-to-side)
Y: Go to RAP 7.5.9 Light Prints. N: Go to step 4. 4 The prints are black. Y: Go to RAP 7.5.5 Black Prints. N: Go to RAP 7.5.18 Background. Figure 7.5.3.1 Special tool (Olivetti Code: 687340K) 1.50 1.40 1.30 1.20 1.10...
Background Compare the Test Prints with the Visual Scale (Olivetti code: 687350M). The worst background area on any print should be at, or below, area 3 on the rating guide (see Figure 7.5.3.2). 1 The pattern is free from background.
Deletions (Line, Band, Spot) Inspect Test Prints for the presence of deletions (missing image). There should be no deletions with a diameter larger than 0.5 mm visible on test prints (Figure 7.5.3.3). 1 There are deletions on the test prints. Y: Go to step 2.
Fusing NOTE: The operating environment of the paper is from 5 Celsius at 15% relative humidity to 35 Celsius at 85% relative humidity. The fusing performance of the printer will vary according to the environment. • A cold environment will affect the warm-up time. •...
Resolution Refer to Figure 7.5.3.5. Observe the three image areas on several System Controller Test Patterns. Check the resolution of the images in each of the areas: Area 1: When set at 600 DPI, the two pixel vertical, horizontal and diagonal lines should be clear and continuous.
Registration (Lead Edge to Trail Edge) Measure the registration on two consecutive System Controller Test Patterns. Fold the lead edge to the top line of the ladder chart. Observe the fold at the zero reference line, Figure 7.5.3.6. The fold is within +/- 2.0 mm from the zero reference line. Y: The test prints meet the Lead Edge to Trail Edge registration specification.
Registration (Side-to-Side) Measure the registration on two consecutive System Controller Test Patterns. Fold the left edge of the test print to the left edge of the ladder chart and crease the paper. Observe the fold at the zero reference line. The fold is within +/- 2.5 mm from the zero reference line (Figure 7.5.3.7).
Skew Observe the Printer Engine Controller test pattern. Measure the dimensions ‘A’ and ‘B’ on two consecutive test patterns and check the following, Figure 7.5.3.8. The difference between ‘A’ and ‘B’ should be no more than 1.5 mm from any source. The skew on the test patterns meets the specification.
Skips/Smears Print a System Controller Test Pattern with the print resolution set to 600 dpi. Inspect the process direction ladder chart test pattern. The pattern should be free from skips and smears and lines should exist in the side-to-side scan direction, Figure 7.5.3.9. The test prints are free from skips and smears.
Spots Inspect the test prints for spots ( Figure 7.5.3.10). Within a 208 x 95 mm square: • There should be no spots larger than or equal to 0.5 mm visible on the prints. • There should be no more than 1 spot measuring between 0.4 mm and 0.5 mm visible on the print.
Other Print Defects Inspect the Test Patterns for other Print Defects. There should be no other Print Defects. 1 Test Prints are free of defects. Y: Go to Final Actions. N: Go to step 2. 2 There are dark streaks present on the Test Prints. Y: Go to RAP 7.5.16 Streaks.
