Calibrating the Weight Sensors

Sensors measure the weight of the material cartridges and the waste cartridge
in the printer. It is important that you occasionally check that the weight
measurements are accurate to prevent unnecessary waste of printing
materials. It is recommended that you run the Weight Sensor Calibration
wizard for all cartridge slots every six months. You can also check and
calibrate particular weight sensors.
To calibrate weight sensors:
1. Prepare the 500-gram weight (supplied in the Scale Kit).
2. From the Wizards screen, select Weight Sensor Calibration.
3. In the opening wizard screen, click Start to begin.
4. When the following screen appears, select the sensors to calibrate.
5. Follow the instructions in the next wizard screens for removing cartridges
