lines. Use the BACK ADJUST VAL option to eliminate these lines. Select this mode when using media
that is sensitive to the heater temperature, such as PVC. However, these lines may shift depending on the
media. In such a case, use the START & END or DURING PRINT2 modes.
When DURING PRINT2 is selected, separator lines are generated in the middle of printing path although
cleaning is performed during printing. Select this mode when using media which is not sensitive to the
heater temperature, such as tarpaulin. Separator lines are easier to adjust in this mode than in the DURING
PRINT mode, however, color tone around the lines may be changed. Select the mode according to the
property of the media to be used.
Media back feed adjustment (BACK ADJUST VAL)
This option sets the amount of back feed when printing of an image is interrupted by the automatic cleaning
process.
Set a back feed adjustment value for the media based on the back feed adjustment pattern. See How do
I calibrate my printer .
Parameters: ±2000 pulses (+5 mm), 1 pulse=2.5 µm
Tip After printing the back feed adjustment pattern, measure the start distance. Try setting the
value at 0005 and reprint the back feed adjustment pattern and re-measure the distance and
modify the value if necessary. Increasing the value will increase the distance.
Media advance preference (ADVANCE PREF)
Use this option to define printer front panel priority or software RIP priority for media advance settings for
the selected media type. If you select software RIP priority, the printer will ignore media advance settings
that are defined on the printer front panel and use the settings from the RIP.
