5.1.4.21 Margin Adjustment in Borderless Printing (Function code 66)
(User-accessible)
 Function
This procedure adjusts the left, right and bottom margins for borderless printing. Print out a
margin check pattern, measure each margin, and enter the correction values.
 Operating Procedure
Before starting the procedure below, be sure to set letter-size paper in the paper tray for
printing check patterns.
Printing the left, right and bottom margin check pattern
(1) Switch the machine to the maintenance mode.
(2) Connect the machine to your PC with a USB cable.
(3) On your PC, drag and drop the "mediaadj.prn" onto the Brother Maintenance USB Printer
driver icon in the Filedrgs window.
The machine displays the "RECEIVING DATA" on the LCD and prints out the "MEDIA
CHECK" pattern (see page 5-45 for a sample printout). This is for checking the left and
right margins.
Tip: Using Function code 61 (Section 5.1.4.18 "Printout of PRN/JPEG Files in Memory
Card (Function code 61)") also prints out the check pattern. After printing with a memory
card, be sure to remove the card and then proceed to the steps below.
Adjusting the left and right margins
(1) Measure the left and right margins on the printed pattern.
The upper row is printed in 600 dpi, and the lower row, in 1,200 dpi.
(Example) 600 dpi Left: 0.8 mm, Right: 1.1 mm
1,200 dpi Left: 0.9 mm, Right: 1.2 mm
If both of the left and right margins are within the range from 0.9 to 1.1 mm, no adjustment
is required. If not, go to step (2).
(2) If either one of the left and right margins is out of the specified range, press the 6 key twice
on the machine.
The "Select 66?" appears on the LCD.
(3) Press the Black Start (Mono Start) key.
The "MEDIA SENSOR ADJ" appears on the LCD.
(4) Press the * key to display "LEFT1 :10."
(5) To adjust the left margin in 600 dpi, enter the measured value (in units of 0.1 mm)
multiplied by 10.
In this example, the left margin measured in step (1) is 0.8 mm, so press the 0, 8, and OK
keys.
NOTE: In models having no OK key on the control panel, press the PHOTO CAPTURE
key.
The "RIGHT1: 10" appears on the LCD.
(6) To adjust the right margin in 600 dpi, enter the measured value (in units of 0.1 mm)
multiplied by 10.
In this example, the right margin measured in step (1) is 1.1 mm, so press the 1, 1, and OK
keys.
The "LEFT2: 10" appears on the LCD.
