Description
If printed images are affected by banding in different colors across the sheet, execute Adj. Quality for automatic adjustment of the paper feed amount.
Solution
| If printed images are affected by banding in different colors across the sheet, execute Adj. Quality for automatic adjustment of the paper feed amount. |
| There are two modes of automatic adjustment to correct banding: Auto(GenuinePpr) and Auto(OtherPaper). In either mode, the printer prints and reads a test pattern for automatic adjustment of the feed amount.
- Auto(GenuinePpr)
Use this mode with paper identified in the Paper Reference Guide.
- Auto(OtherPaper)
Use this mode with paper not in the Paper Reference Guide, or if Auto(GenuinePpr) does not eliminate banding.
 | Note | | ? Always check the Adj. Priority values before using Auto(GenuinePpr) or Auto(OtherPaper).
? Adjustment is not possible with Auto(GenuinePpr) and Auto(OtherPaper) when using highly transparent media.
In this case, use Manual adjustment. ? If additional fine-tuning is necessary after Auto(GenuinePpr) and Auto(OtherPaper), execute Adj. Fine Feed. ? Use Adjust Length to ensure that lines in CAD drawings are printed at exactly the right length. ? This may take some time, depending on the type of paper. ? Use paper of the same type and size for adjustment as you will use for printing. | |
Paper to Prepare | Rolls | An unused roll at least 10 inches wide | | Sheets | Auto(GenuinePpr) : One sheet of unused paper of at least A4/Letter size
Auto(OtherPaper) : Two sheets of unused paper of at least A4/Letter size (or one sheet when using A2 or larger) |
Perform adjustment as follows.
- Load the paper.
 | Note | | ? Always make sure the loaded paper matches the type of paper specified. Adjustment cannot be completed correctly unless the loaded paper matches the settings. | |
- On the Tab Selection screen of the Control Panel, press
 or  to select the Settings/Adj. tab (  ).
 | Note | | ? If the Tab Selection screen is not displayed, press the Menu button. | |
- Press the OK button.
The Set./Adj. Menu is displayed. - Press
 or  to select Adjust Printer, and then press the OK button. - Press
 or  to select Feed Priority, and then press the OK button. - Press
 or  to select Adj. Quality, and then press the OK button. - Press
 or  to select Auto(GenuinePpr) or Auto(OtherPaper), and then press the OK button.
A test pattern is printed for adjustment.
Adjustment is now finished if you have printed on a roll or a sheet of A2 size or larger. - If you are printing on sheets smaller than A2 size for Auto(OtherPaper), a confirmation message is shown on the Display Screen requesting you to continue printing.
Press the OK button and follow the instructions on the Display Screen.
