6-7 Correcting Misalignment for Printing or Cutting
104
Chapter 6 Feature Preference
Description
The movement transfer of media experiences subtle changes due to the thickness of the media and the temperature of
the heating devices. When the movement distance becomes discrepant, horizontal stripes are more likely to occur
during printing. We recommend performing correction to match the media you're using and the heating devices.
Repeat the process of printing a test pattern and entering a correction value a number of times to find the optimal
value.
After correction, performing take-up to return the media and carrying out printing may not produce correct results.
When resetting the page spacing after correction, set it to a value of 40 millimeters or more.
Print this test pattern using parameters identical to those for actual printing. Also, using material such as media scraps
that have passed through the printer may not yield correct results.
Note, however, that you can also make this setting on the computer (by, for example, choosing the media type in the
RIP program you are using). Use this feature when you want to make the setting on the printer, without changing any
settings on the computer. When you've made the setting on the computer, the computer's setting takes precedence
and the printer's setting is ignored.
