Reducing Horizontal Bands (Feed Correcon Funcon)
Perform correcons to make the band-shaped "stripes" on the printed surface less noceable.
The band-shaped "stripes" are called "horizontal bands" or "banding." Horizontal bands are caused by the subtle
changes in the movement distance that occur when feeding the media depending on the media's thickness and
the temperature of the dryer. We recommend that you make correcons to match the media you are using and
the set temperature of the dryer.
First, print a test paern, and then determine and enter the correcon value. Aer entering the correcon value,
print a test paern again and check the correcon results. Repeat the process of prinng a test paern and enter-
ing a correcon value several mes to nd the opmal correcon value.

2. Press [MENU].
3. Press [▼] several mes to display the screen shown below.
4. Press [▶] to display the screen shown below.
5. Press [ENTER].
Prinng of the test paern starts.
6. When prinng of the test paern is nished, press [▼], then [▶] to display the screen shown below.
7. View the printed test paern, and then determine the correcon value.
= Current correcon value ( ) Select the value to make the gap ( ) and overlap ( ) between the up-
per/lower squares smallest. In the case of the following gure, select "-0.40." When you cannot choose be-
tween two sequenal numbers, specify a value that is between them.
8. Press [▲] or [▼] to select the correcon value.
