[ 8 ] Adjust margins in borderless printing (Function code 66)
Before starting the procedure below, be sure to set letter-size paper in the paper tray for
printing check patterns.
Left and right margin adjustment
(1) 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 4-23 for a sample printout). This margin check pattern is used
to check the left, right and bottom margins.
Tip: The check pattern can also be printed with Function code 61 (refer to Section
5.1.4.18). After printing with a memory card, be sure to remove the card before proceeding
to the following step.
(2) 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 (3).
(3) 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.
(4) Press the Black Start (Mono Start) key.
The "MEDIA SENSOR ADJ" appears on the LCD.
(5) Press the * key to display "LEFT1 :10."
(6) 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 (2) 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.
(7) 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 (2) is 1.1 mm, so press the 1, 1, and OK
keys.
The "LEFT2: 10" appears on the LCD.
(8) To adjust the left margin in 1,200 dpi, enter the measured value (in units of 0.1 mm)
multiplied by 10.
In this example, the right margin measured in step (2) is 0.9 mm, so press the 0, 9, and OK
keys.
The "RIGHT2: 10" appears on the LCD.
