RE: [Digital BW] microbanding

2002-05-28 by Austin Franklin

Hi Julian,

The alignment you do with the driver maintenance is only one of many
alignments.  The other alignments are mechanical only (as opposed to
controllable by software), and require a special testing program (or a damn
lot of patience) to do, as well as access to the mechanical levers/screws
that allow you to accomplish this alignment.

If you want more information on the other alignments, ask and I'll try to
get some time to write it up a bit...or find an old post that has the info
in it for you.

Regards,

Austin
