If printed images are affected by banding in different colors, adjust the amount that paper is fed.
Use Manual Band Adj for transparent media or other paper for which adjustment with Auto Band Adj. is not possible.
We recommend automatic adjustment for other types of paper.
Always check the Feed Priority setting before using Manual Band Adj.
note:
- If additional fine-tuning is necessary after Manual Band Adj, use Fine Band Adj..
- Use paper of the same type and size for adjustment as you will use for printing.
