Setting of Media Correction
Correct the media feed amount to match the type of
media you are using.
If the correction value is not appropriate, stripes may
appear on the printed image, thus resulting in a poor
printing.
A pattern for media correction is printed and a media-
feeding rate is corrected.
1
Set a media. ( P.2-4)
2
Press the
(MENU)

LOCAL.
• SETUP MENU will be displayed.
3
Press the key.

• Enter a correction value in "+":
The boundary between the two bands is widened.
• Enter a correction value in "-":
The boundary between the two bands is
narrowed.
• When you change the correction value by "30", the
width of the boundary changes by about 0.1 mm.
6
Press the key.
• Print a correction pattern again and check it.

If the Positions of Dots Shift...
When the condition for printing (media thickness/ink type/
etc.) has been changed, perform the following operation
to correct the ink drop position for bidirectional (Bi)
printing and obtain the proper printing result.
Example of a Printed Pattern
1
Set a media on the machine. ( P.2-4)
• In order to print a pattern, a media that is 500 mm
wide at least is necessary.
2
Press the
(MENU)
key in
LOCAL.
• SETUP MENU will be displayed.
3
Press , and then press the
key.
• “DROP.POScorrect” will be selected.
• On completion of [MEDIA COMP.] during use of a roll
media, the media returns to the printing origin. Then the
roll media in the rear of this machine will slacken.
Before printing, take up the slack in the roll media by
hand; a loose roll media can result in an inferior image
quality.
• Two bands are printed in the correction pattern.
• Make adjustment so that an even color density is
obtained in the boundary between the two bands.
Second band
First band
Media advance direction
The dots at the fourth position counted
from the zero position in the positive
direction form a straight line.
In this case, the dot position correction
value is 4.0.
