Perform the banding analysis for the following purposes:

  • Continuously monitor the color evenness to understand changes of the banding state under the same printing conditions (analyzing the color evenness).
  • Identify and list the parts/units that could be causing the banding in the order of effectiveness (analyzing the cause).

 

  • Make sure the paper and print parameters applied are always the same when running the banding analysis.
  • Do "Process Setup" or "Manual ProCon (Density Adjustment)" before running the banding analysis.
  • If Banding analysis is performed in order to continuously monitor the color evenness, make sure to print out the 75% chart under the same conditions as follows.
    • Use the same paper and the same paper settings under the same installation environment.
    • Print out the 75% chart after executing the initialization (SP3-020-001).
    • Troubleshoot the other abnormal images, such as vertical streaks and FR density difference.
