Thickness Pattern Print Print a pattern to detect the thickness of the loaded paper.
Select the pattern number with the least misalignment from the
print results.
Paper Feed Adjust A Pattern Use this setting if you are unable to resolve banding issues
(horizontal striped lines or uneven colors) in the standard print
area (for cut sheets, the area excluding the 1 to 2 cm strip at the
bottom of the paper) even after head cleaning or head alignment.
❏ Pattern
This method allows you to correct by visually checking a
printed pattern and entering a correction value.
Check for the lightest colored pattern in lines A to F on the
printed adjustment pattern.
In the following example, “3” should be selected as it is the
lightest.
1 2 3 4 5
A
Enter the confirmed number for each entry screen for lines A
to F.
❏ Value
You can change the value based on the banding in the
printed material.
The correction value (-0.70 to + 0.70%) is set at a rate of one
meter per paper feed. Because a black band occurs (dark
colored stripe) if too little paper is fed, adjust it in a + direction.
Because a white band occurs (a white or light colored stripes)
if too much paper is fed, adjust it in a - direction.
