Vertical line is less than 1.000"
If it is less than 1.000", subtract this value from 1.000". Record the resulting value without
decimals. For example, if the line is 0.995" thick, then 1.000 – 0.995 = 0.005. Record a value
of 5. This value must be determined in inches, not millimeters.
1. Click on Printer Status and Settings
2. Select "Read First Dot" and record this value
3. Click Yes to change the value
4. Add your value to the First Dot value and enter the new value. For example, if the
First Dot value was 35, add 5 to that and enter a value of 40.
5. Reprint the Test Page
There is a white gap before the vertical line
If there is a white gap before the 1.000" thick line then an adjustment must be made to
close this gap. Measure the gap and record the resulting value without decimals. For
example, if the gap is 0.003" thick, record a value of 3.
1. Click on Printer Status and Settings
2. Select "Read First Dot" and record this value
3. Click Yes to change the value
4. Subtract your value from the First Dot value and enter the new value. For example, if
the First Dot value was 35, subtract 3 from that and enter a value of 32.
5. Reprint the Test Page
Note
If the new value that is calculated from these steps exceeds -60 or +60, then the left edge of the Print
Head Engine Assembly must be readjusted. Contact Direct Color Systems Tech support.
