Look at the resulting plot. You should see that the horizontal crosses are thin and there are no double lines. Automatic substrate advance ● Good substrate advance with thin horizontal lines No action needed. ● Bad substrate advance with double horizontal lines 1. Clean the substrate-advance sensor, and reprint the advance plot as above. 2. If problems persist, change to manual substrate advance (see Manual substrate-advance compensation on page 135). Manual substrate advance ● Good substrate advance with thin horizontal lines No action needed. 138 Chapter 9 Printer calibration
