Important
• For best printing results, the printer fine-tunes the print head height and the feed amount for each type of paper.
Be sure to select the type of paper to use correctly before printing.
• Because the printer fine-tunes the feed amount for each type of paper, the margins and the size of printed images
may vary depending on the type of paper used. If margins and the size of images are not as you expected, adjust
the paper feed amount.
(See "Adjusting the Feed Amount.") ➔P.483
•
Rolls and sheets have different printing areas, and sheets having a larger bottom margin than rolls.
