Printer Calibrations

All calibrations should be performed in accordance with user documentation or
refer to steps below.
1. Paper Axis Test.
Prior to running a Paper Axis Test ensure a minimum of 36 inch media is loaded. To
activate the Paper Axis Test select
An upside-down "T" will be printed in the center
of the media, the media will advance
approximately 33 inches or 838 mm and another
"T" will be printed. This calibration is extremely
important for paneling and framing operations to
ensure proper line length accuracy; printer
accuracy is guaranteed to +/- 0.2%. Cut off and
measure the distance between the two T's using
a draftsman ruler, enter the true value under
under 'Paper Axis'. Select Utility Menu,
Calibration Menu, Paper Axis, enter the true
value once only. Note: the display will always
indicate 33" or 832.2 mm as the zero reference
position but the printer is now adjusted for this
media type.
"T's" should be 33.00" +/-
Two "T's" will be printed about 33.00 inches vertically
apart. Cut the media off and lay on a flat surface.
Measure the TRUE measured vertical distance
between the horizontal lines on the two printed "T's"
using a steel drafting ruler or the 35inchruler.rtl file
(printed on NovaJet printer via EFPU print utility).
Enter the TRUE measured distance under "Paper
Axis". For example if the distance was 33.06, then
input 33.06 one time only. CAUTION: If the test is re-
run the value will indicate 33.00 again, do not input
the same value again unless a new measurement is
taken – the system always adjusts reference to zero
(displayed as 33.00").
