Abstract
A method for generating a response curve for adjusting the positions of a pair of adjustable edge seals to the width of a print medium in a printing system is disclosed. The method comprises defining a vacuum chamber and using a vacuum source to provide vacuum in the vacuum chamber. Spaced sealing rollers and the edge seals define an opening in the vacuum chamber. Signals indicative of an activation level of the vacuum source or the vacuum level in the vacuum chamber are produced for the first position. The edge seals are moved to at least one new position. Signals indicative of the activation level of the vacuum source and the vacuum level in the vacuum chamber are produced for the new positions. A controller is used to produce a response curve using the first or second signals produced at the first and new positions.
