Print Quality SpecificationsTest PatternsThere are nine internal test patterns that can berun from diagnostic mode [9-55]. (refer toSection 6. for details)Test Pattern 1 is used while adjusting lead edge,trail edge and side edge erase.Test Pattern 2 is used to produce horizontalblack and white horizontal/vertical bands andresolution targets.Test Pattern 3 is used to produce ROGM imagetargets and 1.25" solid area squares that are97.5 mm apart.Test Pattern 4 is used to produce a 49 mm widehorizontal black band that is 450 mm from theread edge of the print.Test Pattern 5 is used to produce solid areasquares, ROGM image targets and a grid of thinhorizontal and vertical lines.Test Pattern 6 is used to produce diagonallyplaced small ROGM targets.Test Pattern 7 is used to produce diagonalhorizontal and vertical lines that are 16.25 mmapart.Test Pattern 8 is used to produce solid blankvertical bands that are 93.5 mm wide.Test Pattern 9 is used to produce various smallROGM patterns.Solid Area Density (A)This term refers to the image density of a totallyblack portion of the print.Use a wide roll of media and run test pattern[9-55-5]. Select the black squares (A) and usethe SIR 495.01 (PN 82P520) reference scale tomeasure the density.SPECIFICATION:Media All sites equal to or greater than 1.0Solid Area Density (SAD)Film All sites equal to or greater than .85SADBackgroundThis term refers to the density of the print in anynon-image area.Use a wide roll of media and run test pattern[9-55-5]. Examine the print usingBackground Reference Scale 302.02.theSPECIFICATION:All non-image area should be no greater than3.7 at printer installation and no greater than 5.9over the life of the developer.SkipsThis term means that a print image is partiallydeleted or appears stretched at a right angle tothe media feed direction .Use a wide roll of media and run test pattern[9-55-5]. Examine the 2.0 LP/mm vertical bandlocated near the center o the print for skips orsmears.SPECIFICATION:The 2.0 LP/mm lines should be resolved.ResolutionThis term refers to the degree to which finedetails of a print are reproduced, for example,lines.Use a wide roll of media and run test pattern[9-55-5], Evaluate the resolution targets (B) ateach corner and three central locations for atotal of seven targets.SPECIFICATION:The vertical and horizontal resolution for alltargets should be equal to or greater than 4.0LP/mm.Figure 1.
