Banding analysis is performed in the following procedure.

  1. Print and scan the 75% chart which is contained in the NICE SD card.
  2. Define the current condition of the machine from the scan results with the Banding Analyzer application.
  3. Results of the scanned calibration chart are compared against the color measurement data of the calibration chart (color measurement data is contained in the Banding Analyzer application) to generate an XML file, which defines the color shading calibration values.
  4. Banding Analyzer identifies the parts/units possibly causing the problem from the current machine condition defined from the scanned 78% chart and the XML file.
  5. Banding Analyzer displays the parts/units that should be inspected in the order of effectiveness on the PC screen.
