Overview of the paper advance procedure
1.
On the front panel, select the
icon, and then select Image quality maintenance > Paper advance
calibration > Calibrate paper advance. The printer automatically calibrates the paper-advance and
prints a paper advance calibration image.
2. Wait until the front panel shows the status screen, and then reprint your image.
NOTE: The calibration procedure takes approximately six minutes. The front-panel display shows any
errors in the process.
If you are satisfied with your image, continue using this calibration for your paper type. If you see
improvement in your image, continue with the next step. If you are dissatisfied with the calibration,
return to the default calibration. See
Return to the default calibration on page 35.
3.
To fine-tune the calibration, select the
icon, and then select Image quality maintenance > Paper
advance calibration > Adjust paper advance.
4. Select the percentage of change from –5‰ to +5‰. To correct light banding, decrease the percentage.
To correct dark banding, increase the percentage.
TIP: This can also be useful for fine-tuning the total length of the print. Bear in mind that 1‰ means a
change of 1 mm per meter, or 1 mil per inch.
5. Press the OK button on the front panel to save the value.
6. Wait until the front panel shows the status screen, and then reprint your image.
Return to the default calibration
Returning to the default calibration sets all the paper-advance calibration to zero. To return to the default
paper advance-calibration value, you must reset the calibration.
1.
On the front panel, select the
icon, and then select Image quality maintenance > Paper advance
calibration > Reset paper advance.
2. Wait until the front panel shows that the operation has been successfully completed before you press
the Back button to return to the Ready screen.

Each supported paper type has its own characteristics. The printer changes the way it prints on each different
paper type. For example, some might need more ink and some might require a longer drying time. The printer
requires a description of the requirements of each paper type. This description is called the “paper preset”.
The paper preset contains the ICC profile, which describes the color characteristics of the paper. It also
contains information about other characteristics and requirements of the paper that are not directly related
to color. Existing paper presets for your printer are installed in the printer's software.
Your printer contains paper presets for only the most commonly used paper types. If you buy a paper type for
which your printer has no preset, you cannot select that paper type in the front panel.
