2. Correct the misalignment of printing and cutting with crop marks at the
same time.
Use the following procedure to print the crop marks and cut the media, checking for misalignment in the
positions. In this section, the crop marks are printed simply, and then the crop marks are read and a cut-
ting test is performed without removing the media. To simulate the actual process—printing crop marks,
removing the media, and then performing post-processing such as laminating—before loading the media
and checking for cutting position misalignment, turn on [Separate Test for Printing/Cutting with Crop
Marks]. For more information, refer to
Marks (Separate Test for Printing/Cutting with Crop Marks)(P.
Procedure
1.
Tap .
2.
Tap [Media Settings]>[Cutting Settings]>[Crop Cut Position Adjustment].
3.
Tap next to [Separate Test for Printing/Cutting with Crop Marks] to turn it off.
4.
Tap [Execute] next to [Printing Test 1 (Misalignment Check)].
Printing Test 1 is printed and cut. One test pattern is printed on the media.
5.
Check Printing Test 1.
Check whether the printing position (shaded part) and the cutting position (red line) are aligned.
An example of the printing position and the cutting position being misaligned is shown in the fol-
lowing figure.
[F] indicates the feed direction of the media (the feed direction) and [S] indicates the direction of
print head movement (the scan direction).
If the printing position and the cutting position are aligned, no corrections are necessary.
If the printing position and the cutting position are not aligned, proceed to the next procedure.
6.
Tap [Execute] next to [Printing Test 2 (Correction Values)].
Printing Test 2 is printed and cut.
7.
Check the correction values from the Printing Test 2 condition.
The point where the cutting line (A) intersects the correction-value scale (B) is the correction val-
ue. In the following figure, the correction value is "−0.3."
Check the media feed direction (the feed direction) and the direction of print head movement (the
scan direction).
