2.8 Feed Correction
Changing the media may affect the feed amount due to various factors, including the weight and thickness of
the media and whether the take-up unit is used. Adjust the feed to suit the type of media used.
Image defects (e.g., dark or light streaks) will result if the feed is not properly corrected.
Check beforehand
• Is media loaded? "Loading the Media"(P. 59)
• For roll media, is the rear roll media free of sagging?
• When using the take-up unit, was the medium mounted on the core of the take-up unit? "Loading the Roll
Media"(P. 59)
