The cutter pressure can be set by 1%.PG adjustmentAdjusts the PG.Rear AD adjustmentDetects and set the best resistance value of the rear sensor. After the detection, The D/A adjustment value, ON-OFF difference, and ON level are displayed in that order from the left. When a detection error occurs including sensor defect, circuit defect, and adjustment with paper unloaded, the error is displayed.Edge sensor levelMeasures the platen level (reflecting amount) by the paper edge sensor. If paper is on the rear sensor, the sensor detects the paper width and obtains information for each paper type. If paper is not on the rear sensor, the sensor obtains information for each paper type at previous paper width detection. The panel keys are invalid during executing and the measured values are displayed in the order below. • No measurement paper • Minimum measurement value • Minimum value detection position • Maximum measurement value • Maximum value detection position • Threshold value at paper detection • Paper presence at paper detection • Paper absence at paper detection • D/A value used at paper detection •OK/NG Nozzle check pattern printThe ink eject from the head nozzle can be checked from the printed pattern.If the ink is not ejected properly, a cleaning is performed. The items printed on the pattern are as follows. • Nozzle ink eject check pattern Each color is printed in the order below from the home position side. 8 color: MK/PK, C, M, C, Y, LK, LC, LM, LLK 4 color: C, C, Y, Y, M, M, MK, MK • Firmware version Prints the installed firmware version. • Remaining maintenance tank capacity Prints the remaining maintenance tank capacity (unit: %). 0% means that the maintenance tank is full. • Head ID Prints the registered head ID value. • Colorimetric calibration ID Prints the registered colorimetric calibration ID • Vertical nozzle alignment check pattern (3 rows) Prints in the order of VSD1, VSD2, VSD3 from the top. Large and Middle sized dots are printed iteratively for the VSD3 to prevent satellite droplets from occurring in MK. • Horizontal nozzle alignment check pattern (6 rows) Prints in the order of VSD1, VSD2, VSD3 from the top row. Refer to “1.4.4.19 Nozzle Check Pattern Printing (p.59)” for a printed pattern.
EPSON Stylus Pro 4400/4450/4800/4880/4880CRevision CProduct Description Operating Panel 99Table 1-42. Nozzle Check Pattern
Paper skew checkFeeds a specified amount of paper for checking the skew level, and detects the
Position paper edge before and after feeding with the sensor to check the
error.
When the paper feed amount is entered after the paper initialization, the edge
sensor detects the left edge of the paper (home position side) after feeding
operation and the printer displays the difference with that of before feeding on
the panel.
The first paper edge detection determines the paper skew judging standard
position in the firmware.
NOTE 1:If the paper check LED blinks/lights, the paper detection error
currently occurs. In this case, perform the paper skew check again
after releasing the lever once.
2:If the skew result indicates [99.999mm], it could be caused by the
following reason(s). In this case, perform the paper skew check
again after removing the cause(s).
• The paper width has been changed by 3mm at one of the
paper edges compared with the previous paper width detection.
• The paper is loaded too close to the home position side.
• The lever is pulled up or the cover is opened during paper feed.
3:The panel keys are invalid during paper skew check.
4:For the indicated value, + indicates the home position side and -
indicates the other side.PRINT MENU
