Abstract
A pagewide array (PWA) print bar of a printing device prints a calibration pattern on a print medium. The print bar is nominally perpendicular to a media advancement direction in which the print medium advances relative to the PWA print bar during printing. An image of the printed calibration pattern is optically scanned, and a skew angle by which the PWA print bar deviates from true perpendicular to the media advancement direction is calculated based on the optically scanned image. The printing device is calibrated to compensate for the calculated skew angle during subsequent printing.
