I think that checkerboard pattern checks the glop position.

I think you've got it.  I do all this in the QTR Curve Creator in 
Windows, then save the file with a new name that indicates what slots 
are used.  On my 1800 the linearization seems to hold when I change 
ink and curve positions.  However, I've heard some say they had to re-
linearize the 1800 when they've done this.
