Adjustments for Better Print Quality
Adjusting the Printhead
Automatic Adjustment to Straighten Lines and Colors
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.
(See "Manual Adjustment to Straighten Lines and Colors.")➔User's Guide
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.
(See "Manual Adjustment to Straighten Lines and Colors.")➔User's Guide
• If the printhead position was not adjusted during initial setup or when the printhead was
replaced, execute Initial adjustmt.
(See "Adjustment When Installing the Printhead.")➔User's Guide
• 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.
