Chapter 2 Basic Operation
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 bi-directional (Bi)
printing and obtain the proper printing result.
Example of a printed pattern
1
In LOCAL mode, press the key,
and then press
(ADJUST)
.
• The adjustment menu appears.
2
Press and then the key.
• "DROP.POScorrect" will be selected.
3
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, Pattern
3... in the order of printing.)
4
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
perform the operations in Step 2 and later.
5
In the same way as in Step 4, enter a
correction value of Pattern 2 and later, and
press the key.
6
Press the key several times to
end the setting.
Printing Data
Starting a Printing Operation
1
Set the media on the machine. ( P.2-4)
2
Press the (REMOTE) key in LOCAL.
• The screen changes to REMOTE, and data can
be received from the PC.
3
Transmit data to be printed from the PC.
• For the method of data transmission, see the
instruction manual for the RIP software.
4
Start printing.
• The printing speed may change, depending on
the width of the set media or the position of the
print origin even when the same data is printed.
This is because of a difference in resolution.
• When using leaf media, set a media of more than
A3 size put horizontally. If a media with narrow
width is set, printing will be only conducted to mid-
way.
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.
Output
• When using a roll media, rewind the media by
hand before printing so that it is not loose. When
the roll media has not been rewound tightly, it may
cause image quality to deteriorate.
