The purpose of the printer calibration is to align the individual elements of the KODAK PROFESSIONAL RP 30 Laser Printer ­ print engine, paper, and paper processor ­ with respect to each other. The result of a successful calibration is the neutral appearance of the grayscale on the last test print. You can perform tests for the RP 30 Laser Printer before or during production. For example, a Paper Balance (PBL) test is required when paper with a new emulsion number is inserted. This chapter provides details about these tests. Printer Tests Overview MBL The Master Balance (MBL) is the means to keep the production stable and uniform. This provides consistent, every day compensation for chemical fluctuations and/or changes in the paper process. The MBL is printed on the "master" paper, which is the paper that is used most frequently in the lab. [. . . ] Unscrew the locking screw (1, red) of the lane distributor. Pull out the unit on the telescopic rails. Unscrew the knurled screws (2) and remove the top cover of the back printer. Remove the ink ribbon cartridge by slightly pushing in both sides (3). [. . . ]
