Adjusting the Feed Amount Automatically
If printed images are affected by banding in different colors, adjust the amount that paper is fed. There are
two modes for adjusting the amount paper is fed, Standard Adj. and Advanced Adj.. Advanced Adj. offers
a wider range of adjustment than Standard Adj.. If using Standard Adj. does not eliminate streaks, or if
streaks are quite noticeable, try Advanced Adj..
Follow the steps below for standard automatic adjustment of the feed amount.
When using highly transparent media for which automatic adjustment is not supported, you must adjust the
feed amount manually. For instructions on manual adjustment, see “Adjusting the Feed Amount Manually”.

Note
• To adjust the measurement scale and ensure accuracy (so that lines in CAD drawings are printed
at exactly the right length, for example), specify the amount of paper stretching or shrinkage when
adjusting the feed amount. (→P.594)
• Use paper of the same type and size for adjustment as you will use for printing.
