Solution

If vertical lines in printed documents are warped or colors are out of alignment, execute Head Posi. Adj.. The printer will print and read a test pattern, and the Printhead position will be adjusted automatically.
There are two modes for automatic Printhead adjustment: Standard and Simple.

  • Standard
Execute if vertical lines in printed material are warped or colors are out of alignment.
Furthermore, if Simple does not improve printing, try Standard.
  • Simple
Executes simple adjustment in a short time.
Execute this when frequently adjusting the printhead, such as during daily inspection.

IMPORTANT
  • This function is not available with CAD Tracing Paper, CAD Translucent Matte Film, or CAD Clear Film.
  • If adjustment is not possible as expected using special media, try another type of paper, or try Manual adjustment.
NOTE
  • Because the results of adjustment vary depending on the type of paper used for adjustment, use the same type of paper as you will use for printing.
  • If Standard does not improve printing, try adjusting the printhead manually.
  • If the printhead position was not adjusted during initial setup or when the printhead was replaced, execute Initial adjustmt.
  • Advanced adjustment can enable superior printing quality when printing fine lines or text at high precision on glossy or semi-glossy photo or proofing paper.
