JFX200 Squaring / Distance Calibration

[John Torv]

Hi,

We've got a JFX200-2513 and were wondering how to calibrate the scan / feed direction control settings. We'll routinely print onto various materials with calibration marks that are used when cutting out shapes on a CNC router. We know the router is calibrated, based on their squaring procedure (30"x60" square in the center of something and measure corner-to-corner, within 1/16"-1/32"). Our print marks, at about 96", will routinely be off on the X (scan) about 0.5"-1" over that 96". The "feed" or "Y" is almost always on or off by ten-thou or so. I know there is a setting in RasterLink for "scan" but didn't know what procedure to perform to figure out what to input or how to go about squaring it.

Thanks

Are you saying the flatbed isn't printing the size it's suppose to print?

I've never heard of a flatbed printing "not square" that would skew the images & probably see weird banding.

Have you tested it by printing a ruler and using a measuring tape or a 1m ruler and seeing if it lines up?

I would try the ruler thing. I attached 2 files that I print on my printer.
