Accurately Adjusting the Settings for Printing and
Cutting
Correcting the Misalignment of Printing and Cutting
This is a correction method performed when printing followed immediately by cutting yields positioning for print-
ing and cutting that is slightly misaligned.
Print alignment marks, perform detection of the printed marks, and then correct the discrepancy. Subtle misalign-
ment between the printing and cutting positions may occur due to the thickness of the media or the head height.
We recommend that you make corrections to match the media you are using.
