Printer Calibration Dialog

Printer calibration is used to configure your printer so that it prints accurately on special paper. It helps to avoid unwanted offset of the printed picture.

To calibrate your printer:

1. Choose Calibrate Printer... from the File menu to display the Printer Calibration dialog.
2. Select the paper you are going to print on in the Paper drop-down list. If you cannot find the paper you need, click the Select Paper Format button to get the full list of supported paper.


3. Select the printer if you have several printers installed on the system.


4. Click the Restore Defaults button to reset the initial values.


5. Click the Print Calibration Sheet button and then click the Print button in the system print window.


6. Move the calibration picture in the preview using the mouse so that the preview looks exactly like the calibration sheet that has just been printed. You can also use enter the offset in the edit boxes or use the arrows to set the precise offset values.

To make sure you have calibrated your printer successfully, print a test copy of your design.
