Description
This machine prints by the bidirectional mode (in which the heads perform printing during both their outbound
pass and return pass). This printing method is called “Bidirectional Printing.” This method oers the advantage
of being able to shorten output times, but subtle misalignment occurs during the outbound and return passes.
The procedure to correct this and eliminate misalignment is “Bidirectional Correction." This misalignment var-
ies according to the head height and the thickness of the media, so we recommend performing correction
to match the media you're using.
This settings also serves to correct for misalignment of the printing and cutting positions. In such cases, check
or adjust this setting.
