Paper axis calibration
Choosing Utility Menu/Calibration Menu/Paper Axis Test lets the printer
draw a set of vertical marks to calibrate the paper axis. To measure the marks
laid down by the printer, you will need a ruler or scale at least 33 inches (838.2
mm) long. (The System CD contains a ruler file than can be printed on your
printer.) The vertical marks should be exactly 33.00 inches (838.2 mm) apart. If
the distance between the marks is different from that shown on the display, you
may adjust the printer by setting its values to match the length or width you
measured.
Note: The Paper Axis Test should be performed every time new media is
loaded.
Á
To print the Paper Axis calibration test pattern
1
Load the printer with media that is at least 36 (91 cm) inches long (or
the media that you are going to run; you cannot load a 36" sheet and
then run the calibration from a roll feed because the line lengths will
not match).
2
Press Utility Menu/Calibration Menu/Paper Axis Test.
The printer prints two marks.
3
Remove the media from the printer and measure the distance
between the marks. The distance between the marks should be
exactly 33.00 inches (838.2 mm).
4
If the measurement is not exactly 33.00 inches, select Paper Axis
and adjust the value to the measurement read on the scale.

Cartridge recognition

The printer is designed to use only cartridges specific to your printer model. To
eliminate potential damage to the printer, a Cartridge Recognition feature checks
to ensure that the correct cartridges are installed, and that they are installed
properly. Cartridge recognition is performed when a print request is received
(i.e., image data, prime, etc.).
In addition to cartridge recognition, the printer automatically performs tests on the
cartridges and uses the information to improve image quality, monitor cartridge
life, and update the user with system status. Some tests are performed between
prints and require no user input, while others require user input.
Cartridge-related error messages are listed in Appendix E of the User Guide on
the System CD-ROM.
