• Selectors 3 to 5: Paper feed amount compensation (for preventing banding at the leading edge
of recording paper fed from the photo tray)
This compensation function is usually enabled for preventing banding (horizontal streaks)
from occurring at the leading edge of recording paper fed from the photo tray.
When postcards or small size paper are fed from the standard paper tray, however, this
compensation function can be counterproductive. If so, disable the function, and the print
quality may be improved.
• Selector 6: Registration time offset to slipping in plain paper feeding
Enabling the registration time offset with this selector increases the registration time
(during which the paper feed roller rotates in the reverse direction), avoiding the
occurrence of a paper feeding timeout error even if the paper cannot reach the registration
sensor actuator within the predetermined registration time due to slipping of the paper pull-
in rollers against paper in the paper tray.
Selecting the "Fast" print quality disables the registration time offset even if it is enabled
with this selector.
NOTE: Selecting the "Glossy paper" automatically enables the registration time offset.
