Manual Adjustment: Adjusting the Misalignment of the Ink Landing Position
(Media Gap Adjustment)
This adjusts the landing position of the ink discharged from the print heads. The landing position varies
according to the print head height and the thickness of the media, so we recommend that you make cor-
rections to match the media you are using.
First, print a test pattern, and then determine and enter the correction value. After entering the correc-
tion value, print a test pattern again and check the correction results.
This adjustment must be performed in the following cases.
• When using this machine for the first time
• When changing the media to use
• When you have changed the print-head height
Procedure
1. Load the media.
2. Close the front cover.
3. Tap .
4. Tap [Media Settings]>[Printing Settings]>[Media Gap Adjustment].
5. Select [Detailed Correction (Manual)] and tap [Next].
6. Tap [Execute] next to [Printing Test].
Printing of the test pattern starts.
7. Check the printed test pattern, and then tap or to enter the No. 1: H1 to H4 and No. 2: H1
to H4 correction values.
Select the value that gives the least misalignment between the two lines. In the case of the fol-
lowing figure, select "+5" for H1 and H3 and "+4" for H2 and H4. When you cannot choose between
two sequential numbers, select a value that is between them (you can set correction values in
units of "0.5").
