Adjusting the Printhead
Note
•
Use Standard Adj. if you have switched to another type of paper or if you want the boundaries
between colors to appear as attractive as possible.
•
Use Advanced Adj. to ne-tune the space between nozzles or colors if you have switched the
printhead or if you want printed documents to appear as vivid as possible. We recommend using
Advanced Adj. for printing at a higher level of image quality.
•
Always make sure the loaded paper matches the media type setting on the printer. Adjustment
cannot be completed correctly unless the setting value matches the loaded paper.
•
We recommend using the type of paper you use most often for adjustment.
•
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 highly transparent lm or similar media, try
another type of media or adjust the Printhead alignment manually. (→P.583)
