HP Indigo WS6000 Digital Press - Adjusting the BID engage and disengage angle

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.

To adjust the BID engage/disengage angle:

Select Main Menu and Ink and BID.
- If the leading edge is uneven, select Leading Edge Engage.
- If the trailing edge is uneven, select Trailing Edge Engage.
- If both Leading and Trailing edge are uneven, select Full BID Engage.
Proceed according to the instructions in the wizard.
When two BID engage test jobs are printed. Evaluate the first copy.
In the Analyze window, enter the values for the color bars in the appropriate fields.
- There are two bars for each color.
- Enter the rear side and front side values in the appropriate fields.
Touch Print and proceed according to the wizard instructions.
When the BID engage calibration verification job is printed, Evaluate the first copy. Color bars of the same length (465.6 mm, 18.3 inches) indicate correct engage calibration for all the BID units

Value Field
In the Analyze window, enter the higher value of the adjusted BID color bar.

note:

Different test jobs are printed for BID engagement at the leading edge and for BID disengagement at the trailing edge.
When adjusting the trailing edge, enter the rear and front values in the appropriate field.

Ensure that the color bars are the same length. This indicates a well-adjusted BID engage/ disengage.
