4.3 Set the correct distance adjust (Step)
Obtaining constant print quality is not only determined by the working environment, the RIP,
the profiles, the inks or the media which is used. One of the key factors to obtain constant
output quality is the correct distance adjustment also called “Step”.
4.3.1 Basics about the step
Every image is printed in several print passes. After every pass, the media is fed a certain
distance. When the step is not set correctly, or you switched media, you need to re-adjust the
step. This to avoid the following phenomenon:
Printed swaths overlap
White lines between every swath.
In such cases, follow the procedure below and adjust the media feed compensation value.
Step 1: Adjust the pressure on the media.
Refer to Adjusting the pressure on the media on page48
Step 2: Adjust the media feed compensation value.
Refer to Media feed compensation value on page81
