In order to achieve the best quality, you have to make sure that these parameters are carefully
set. A deviation in one of these paramters, can cause loss of quality. Make sure the head gap
procedure has been followed before conducting any calibrations.
5.1 Feed Adjust (F1).
The feed adjust is the parameter which controls the size of each step the conveyor belt
will move between different print passes. If this settings is too high, white lines will
start to appear between every printing pass. Entering a vaule that is too low, will make
different passes overlap each other. This results in dark lines in your print.
If you want to check the feed adjust, press F1 to enter the feed calibration menu. Select

printed lines are not aligned as one line, you need to adjust the feed value.
