Optimizing Paper
Settings (Media Adjust)
Perform Media Adjust in the following cases. You can
make adjustments easily by using the wizard to make
sure that your paper prints correctly.
❏ When there are streaks, double ruled lines, or
warped characters in the print results
❏ When registered with custom paper settings
Adjustment results are saved until the next time you
make adjustments. After adjustments are complete,
simply select the paper type and the printer will print
correctly.
Note:
Adjustment for paper registered with custom
paper settings
For roll paper and cut sheets, optimal paper settings will
differ even when the paper types are the same. When
using roll paper and cut sheets with the same paper type,
register the custom paper separately and make
adjustments separately.
Registering a Custom Paper Setting means adding a new
paper type setting. Register the new settings in Settings -
General Settings - Printer Settings - Custom Paper
Setting.
For details on Custom Paper Setting, see the following
Custom Paper Setting menu.

Notes on Making Adjustments

❏ Correctly load the paper that actually requires
adjustment and then select the paper type that
matches the loaded paper.
❏ If paper with visible curls, wrinkles, waves, folds, or
bends is used, correct adjustment may not be
possible. Remove curled, wavy, or folded sections
by cutting them off.

Adjusting

Adjustments are performed by using a wizard. Follow
the on-screen instructions to print the adjustment
pattern twice.
Adjustments are made by visually checking the pattern
and specifying the optimal pattern from the first and
second adjustment sheets.
The following shows the length and number of sheets of
paper used for adjustment pattern printing.
Roll paper: Approx. 420 mm
Auto sheet feeder: 2 sheets of A4 or A3
Cut sheets: 1 sheet for A2 or larger, 2 sheets for smaller

Important:
When auto cutting is turned off for cut sheets
or roll paper that is A2 size or larger, the paper
cannot be removed to perform the second print
even when the first print is complete. Do not
pull the printed paper.
Note:
A print head nozzle clogging check is performed
automatically before adjustment pattern printing.
If nozzles are determined to be clogged, cleaning
starts and the adjustment patterns will be printed
after cleaning finishes.
