VG-640 Media Calibration Test Print WAYYYY Off.

Hello, any ideas or help is much appreciated.

I printed a test print to start calibration to eliminate some banding.

The two blocks it prints are like an inch a part. There isnt enough setting to bring the blocks back to touching. Anyone see this before?

Please post a test print showing how the heads are firing. The only explanation I can think of is you are missing a section of the black channel.

I would start by power cycling the printer. Turn it off and unplug it for 10 minutes before powering back on.
If you still have problems, then check the encoder disk for the feed motor. It's behind the steel plate behind the right maintenance cover. Clean it with an alcohol pad (like in your first aid kit).

Good Luck,

Joe
