2.9 Correcting the Drop Position
Changing the media and print head height 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.
• Load media at least 500 mm wide. You cannot print the entire pattern if media less than 500
mm wide is used.
Check beforehand
• Was the print head adjusted? "Adjusting Print Head Height"(P. 53)
• Is media loaded? "Loading the Media"(P. 59)
