Checking the media feeding amount deviation during printing
It is difficult to visually check the feeding amount deviation if the MAPS function is on.
By turning on this function, you can print a pattern on the right edge of the media that serves as a reference for
correcting the feeding amount.
Setting Feed Check Pattern
A pattern for media correction is printed and a media-feeding rate is corrected.
1
Set a media. ( P.2-5)
2
Press the key in LOCAL.
3
Press to select the [MACHINE SETUP].
4
Press the key.
5
Press to select [FeedCheckPatt.].

• The setting is closed if OFF is selected.
9
Press to select the print pattern.
• Set Value : PATTERN1 / PATTERN2
• The print area is reduced by 25 mm if this function is turned on.
• Even if the deviation amount of the pattern is the same, the input correction value varies depending
on the printing mode.
Check beforehand to what degree the correction value changes the feeding amount.
• Logical seek is turned off when this function is turned on.
• The following problems might occur if the feeding amount is changed frequently during printing
1. Total print length is not aligned.
2. Uneven feeding occurs.
• The ease with which the deviation amount can be seen depends on the media. Check
beforehand that the pattern allows for easily determining the deviation amount.
