2.10 Correcting the Drop Position
Changing the media and print head height and temperature changes around the print head 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
• Was the print head adjusted? "Adjust Print Head Height"(P. 55)
• Is media loaded? "Load the media."(P. 59)
• Does the heater temperature suit the media to be used? "Setting the Heater Temperature"(P. 78)
• Load media at least 500 mm wide. You cannot print the entire pattern if media less than 500
mm wide is used.
Drop Position Correction Procedure
Print a correction pattern, then enter the correction value. The value corrected here will also be updated on
the Media Setting menu. This must be adjusted for each print resolution.
