Adjusting the printed length of the image
There is always the possibility that the printed length of a file might
change when using a more elastic substrate. Generally speaking, you only
have to calibrate the printed length once. However, if you change to a more
elastic substrate such as Banner or Tyvek, you should calibrate the
printed length accordingly.
To calibrate the printed length of a file, print a sample. The file should be
no less than 1.5m long.
You carry out the calibrating procedure by using the F
INE ADJUST LENGTH
option in the C
ONFIGURATION dialog box.
The units displayed in this option's list are media-specific and will have a
different relationship to different media.
Select a positive unit to increase the file length and a negative unit to
decrease it. Each unit is approximately equal to 0.5mm or 0.02".
! To adjust the printed length of the image:
• In the C
ONFIGURATION dialog box, from the FINE ADJUST LENGTH drop-
down combo box, select the required unit of length.

substrate present, you will receive a warning.
! To activate the Substrate sensor:
• In the C
ONFIGURATION dialog box, check the SUBSTRATE SENSOR option.
