Adjusting the Feed Amount Manually

If printed images are af fected by banding in dif ferent colors, adjust the amount that paper is fed.

This topic describes how to adjust the feed amount manually .

When using highly transparent media for which automatic adjustment is not supported, adjust the feed amount

manually . W e recommend automatic adjustment for other types of media. For instructions on automatic

adjustment, see “Adjusting the Feed Amount Automatically”. (→P .587)

Note

• T o adjust the measurement scale and ensure accuracy (so that lines in CAD drawings are printed

at exactly the right length, for example), specify the amount of paper stretching or shrinkage when

adjusting the feed amount. ( → P .594)

Important

• Use paper of the same type and size for adjustment as you will use for printing.
