1. A method for changing a calibration of a recording apparatus to adjust for geometric distortion, comprising: providing a media support for receiving recording media; operating a recording head comprising a plurality of individually addressable recording channels to form a first image feature on the recording media while the recording media is positioned with a first orientation on the media support; operating the recording head to fort a second image feature on the recording media while the recording media is positioned with a second orientation on the media support, the second orientation being different from the first orientation; detecting variance in an expected separation between the first image feature and the second image feature; and making an imaging correction in accordance with the detected variance.
