Epson Stylus Pro 4900 - Head Alignment Menu

Item Parameter Explanation
Paper Feed Adjust B -0.70 % to +0.70 % Adjusts the paper feed adjustment value for the 1 to 2 cm region at
the bottom of the cut sheets (the bottom area of the paper). This
setting is ignored when printing on roll paper.
Adjust this value if you notice any banding in this region of the
paper.
Drying Time 0.0 sec to 10.0 sec You can set the time to pause the print head between each print
head pass to allow the ink to dry. Depending on the ink density or
paper type, the ink may take a while to dry. If the ink blurs on the
paper, set a longer time for drying the ink.
Paper Suction Standard This printer prints by sucking the paper using an appropriate
amount of pressure depending on the paper to keep the paper
and the print head at an even distance. Set the paper suction value
here.
For thin paper, if the suction power is too strong, the distance
between the print head and the paper is too wide, which may
cause print quality to decline or the paper may not feed correctly. If
this happens, lower the paper suction. The suction power is
weakened when the parameter is lowered.
