Note:
Feed Adjustment varies with the media used. Load the
media for which feed adjustment is required under the
same conditions as the actual print job. For example, if
you are using the auto take-up reel unit for printing, the
auto take-up reel unit should also be used for feed
adjustment.
Furthermore, when installing the heavy roll media
system, the media must be loaded and feed adjustment
performed again, even if once you adjust with the
standard roll media system.
Feed adjustment is not available under the following
conditions:
❏ The media is transparent or colored.
❏ The printer is exposed to direct sunlight or
interference from other ambient light sources.
Shade the printer from sources of interference.
❏ 2.5 is selected for Platen Gap in the setup menu.
Choose another option for Platen Gap.
Auto feed adjustment may also fail to produce the
expected results if the nozzles are clogged. Perform head
cleaning to remove any clogs.
A
Use the d/u buttons to select Feed Adjustment
and press the Z button.
B
Select Auto and press the Z button.
C
Press the Z button to print a test pattern and
perform auto feed adjustment.
Platen Gap
Adjust the platen gap (the gap between the print head
and the media) if print results are smudged.
A
Use the d/u buttons to select Platen Gap and
press the Z button.
B
Use the d/u buttons to select the desired setting
and press the Z button.

Press the y button to return to the customize
settings menu.

Important:
Select 2.5 only if print results are still smudged
when 2.0 is selected. Choosing a larger gap than
required may result in ink stains inside the printer,
reduced print quality, or shorter product life.
Head Alignment
Select Head Alignment to realign the print head when
print results seem grainy or out of focus.
The Head Alignment menu contains two options: Auto
and Manual.
Auto head alignment aligns the head automatically
using data collected by a sensor while a test pattern is
printed.
In manual adjustment, you need to check the pattern
and enter the optimum adjustment value for alignment.
This section details the steps involved in auto head
alignment.
Align the head manually if you feel that auto head
alignment has not completely resolved the problem.
For more information on manual head alignment, see
U “Correcting Print Misalignment (Head
Alignment)” on page 66.
The Auto(Dual Head) option for the SC-S70600 series
and SC-S50600 series can be used performing a
Auto(Bi-D) followed by a Manual(Bi-D) alignment fails
to produce satisfactory results.
