Correct the ink drop posi-
tion for bidirectional
printing
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 and set a
printing origin. ( P.2-4)
2
Press the key, and press the
(ADJUST)
in LOCAL.
• Adjust menu appears.
3
Press to select “DROP.
POScorrect”.” and press the key.
4
Press the key.
• Printing of the Drop position correct printed
pattern will start.
• Multiple test patterns are printed. (The printed
patterns are called Pattern 1, Pattern 2 in the
order of printing.)
5
Press to enter a correction value
of Pattern 1 and press the key.
• Corrected feeding rate: -40 to 40
• Check the test patterns. The position where an
outward feeding line and a return feeding line
become one straight line is the correction value.
• When the correction value in not between -40 and
40, adjust the height of the printing heads and
then perform the operations in Step 2 and later.
6
In the same way as in Step 5, enter a
correction value of Pattern 2 to 5 and press
the key.
7
Press the key several times to
end the setting.
• When using leaf media, set a media of more than
210mm put horizontally. If a media with narrow
width is set, printing will only be conducted to
midway.
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.
