a.5) Create a single-item job inserting as text 'HHHHHH' in the first tag.
a.6) Print the job
a.7) Verify the centering of the first tag.
a.8) a) Example: text too high : makes a correction to the bottom (-Y)
a.9) b) Example: text too low : makes a correction to the top (+Y)
a.10) c) Example: text shift on right : makes a correction on left (-X)
a.11) d) Example: text shift on left: makes a correction on right (+X)
HHHHHH
Notice
This operation (a.1, a.11) should be done once for all the prints devices with any kind of
items on those at disposal for the device.

3.6 CALIBRATION

The calibration allows to make some corrections on the print step length.
For each laser or thermal printer device it is possible to give a unic correction value, positive
(extend the step) or negative (shorten the step) utilizing any kind of item at disposal.
Look at a calibration example of the Horizontal axis with the SI2K201 item.
a.1) Run the HTS500Hip
a.2) Create a single-item job
a.3) Insert some texts (HHHHHH) for all the item tags.
a.4) Verify the centering of the first and the last tag
a.5) If the print is too short:
first left tag
HHHHHH
d1
the print step should be extended.
a.5.1) Measure of how many mm the print step is shorter (for example 3 mm). To
obtain the difference, the d1 distance between the left item edge and the first 'H' of the
first tag will be measured, and also will be measured the d2 distance between the left
edge item and the first 'H' of the last tag; so the difference will be: d1-d2=3mm
a.6) Select 'File', Select 'Plotter Setup'
a.7) Select the centering button (every device has three button, select the second one, black
cross)
a.8) In the window on the left bottom side there is the calibration part:
a.8.1) Select for the X axis the SI2K201 item
