During printing the BID pushes against the PIP and then disengages. The BID to PIP engagement time
must be long enough to cover the maximum image length (980 mm, 38.58 inches).
Each BID unit should be adjusted individually because the angle between the BID and the PIP drum
varies from one unit to another.
The BID engage angle must allow the image leading edge to be 10 mm (0.39 inches) from the leading
edge.
The BID disengage angle should allow the image trailing edge to be up to 980 mm (35.58 inches) from
the leading edge.
Perform a BID engage/disengage calibration when:
-
A full printed image is not obtained on the leading edge or the trailing edge.
-
A single inkless patch appears in the 25 mm (1 inch) strip of the image leading edge.
