Accuracy Calibration
Your printer was calibrated at the factory to ensure
that it operates with the greatest accuracy in normal
environmental conditions. If you are operating under
significantly different conditions, you should
recalibrate the printer as explained here. The printer's
environmental specifications are given on
Environmental Specifications . You may also need to
recalibrate the printer if you have image quality
problems. Before recalibrating the printer, you should
always use the Image Quality Print to verify that you
do actually have image quality problems caused by
media advance problems.

To Restore the Factory's Calibration
NOTE: If you notice that after the calibration
the results are worse than before, return the
setting of the media back to the original
setting. Go to Utilities/Calibrations/Accuracy/
Restore Factory.
