Calibrating the Load Cells

Load cells are sensors that measure the weight of the material containers and the waste container in the printer. It is important that you periodically check that the weight measurements are accurate to prevent unnecessary waste of printing materials. It is recommended that you calibrate the load cells once a month.

To calibrate load cells:
1.   Start the Load Cell Calibration wizard from the Options menu.
2.   Make sure that there are no containers on the load cells that you want to calibrate, select the appropriate check boxes in the wizard screen, and click Next.

3.   Remove the container, as instructed by the wizard, confirm this in the wizard screen, and click Next.
4.   In the next wizard screen, observe the numbers and wait until the weight level is relatively stable—two units above or below the average level shown.

5.   Select the check box, and click Next.

If you need to calibrate more than one load cell, the next calibration screen appears. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all of the load cells are calibrated.

6.   Click Done in the final wizard screen.
