2.7 Correcting the Drop Position
Changing the media and print head height will also alter the drop positions. Correct the drop position to suit
the type of media used. Image defects (e.g., overlaid lines or blurred images) will result if the drop position is
not properly corrected.
Check beforehand
• Is media loaded? "Load the media."(P. 60)
• Did you set the media thickness? "Registering the Media Thickness"(P. 66)
• Did you set the head gap? "Setting the Head Gap"(P. 69)
• Load media at least 500 mm wide. You cannot print the entire pattern if media less than 500
mm wide is used.
• The ink used in the machine is warmed before printing. Printing and cleaning are disabled while
ink heating control is enabled.
