frenchman Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 this is not possible to move the head position from your printer .Try to upgrade the firmware of the printer,upgrade the firmware of the printer correct a lot of problem like ribbon advance , thermal control of the headprinter etc..... you can find the firmware and many things here :http://www.kodak.com/eknec/PageQuerier.jhtml?pq-path=12078/14398&pq-locale=en_US frenchman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthy Posted October 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Thank you Frenchman for your advice. Maybe it's better to describe my problem. I use one of my printers on a computer. Sometimes I have to print pictures they have to look like that they are already being framed. But on this printer the picture is not exact in the middle. The space between the left and the right edge are different. How can I correct this problem? Thank you in advance, Anthy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frenchman Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 hi Anthy, Go to the properties menu of your printer in the control panel of windows and choose the correct value for ribbon , paper size (ex 6X8/15X20) ,and look if is not enabled any option for the autosize. frenchman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthy Posted October 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Hey Frenchman, I'm now out of town for a few days, so I can't check this. When I'm back I will have a look at it and I will respond. Anthy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthy Posted October 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 Hello Frenchman, The properties-section looked ok. By the way I tried another Kodak 6800 and the picture was exactly in the middle, as it should be. Could it be that the paper-transport needs to be adjusted?

frenchman Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Go here* to download the lastest firmware for your printer *http://www.kodak.com/eknec/PageQuerier.jhtml?pq-path=15199&pq-locale=en_US&_requestid=2370 frenchman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthy Posted October 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 I already did, but without success. In my opinion, something must be wrong with the papertransport .Right now, I'm quite busy, but in a few days I will have a closer look at. Any suggestion is welcome. Thanks in advance.

blusther Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 There is no adjustment for that. Go to Menu of the printer until you are in the testprint mode and make a testprint to check if it is centered or not. Do your carry your printer often from one place to another? Maybe the printer got a strong stroke/bump and that's why it is missaligned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthy Posted November 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 Hello Blusther, I already did that test and noticed that it's not centered. But is there any possibility to fix that problem. Anthy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kodatel Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 Hello, I was thinking, the problem will be in the green core or black core , because the core has a pin, if this pin if broken, the paper go outside the midle, and for this reason could be the problem, check it. Sorry for my english, is so bad regards :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blusther Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 Good news for you, there is an adjustment, what I don't know if it is only available with latest firmware versions. Be very carefully doing this adjustment. If you do something wrong don't cry. I will explain exactly what you have to do, follow it step by step. 1st you need a second person to switch on the printer while you are busy pressing 4 buttons at the same time and it is nearly impossible to keep all 4 buttons pressed until you pass the menu. 1. swich off the printer 2.open the top cover 3.press and hold pressed "+", "Menu", "Enter","Advance" buttons while turning on the printer after initializing the printer display will flash "System Setup" until then keep the all 4 buttons pressed. 4. Now release the 4 buttons 5. close the top cover 6. wait until the display shows ready 7.when the display shows ready press menu button until "MechaParam Set is displayed 8.press "Enter" 9.Press "Menu" until Side Offset is displayed. 10.Press "Enter" 11.using "+" and "-" keys, change the offset values (higher number shifts image to the right) 12.Press "Enter" 13.Press "Clear" 14.Press "Menu" key to display Top Offset 15. Repeat steps 10 to 12 to change the Top Offset (Higher number shifts image down) 16. Press "Clear" until Ready appears 17.make testprint to determine if you need further adjustments. 18. When done reboot the printer to leave the System Setup mode AGAIN: BE CEARFULLY it is not my fault if you do something wrong. I checked it on a 6850 and it works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthy Posted November 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 Thank you for that information Blusther. I will give it a try in a few days and tell you the result. Kind regards, Anthy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blusther Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 I just checked it also on a 6800, its working. Maximum values are +/-24. If you start from "0" then 24 is about 2mm not more. So there is a total shift of 4 mm if you compare the -24 with +24 position of the image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthy Posted November 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 I'm not in the position to do the adjustment right now, but 2mm should be enough. I'll let you know things work out. Anthy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthy Posted November 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 Problem solved. Thanks to all of you for your help and advice. The golden tip comes from Blusther.
