Using the Correction Functions
To optimize the output quality, it is effective to use some correction functions.
Adjusting the Misalignment of the Ink Landing Position
This adjusts the landing position of the ink discharged from the print heads. The landing position varies
according to the print head height and the thickness of the media, so we recommend that you make cor-
rections to match the media you are using.
First, print a test pattern, and then determine and enter the correction value. After entering the correc-
tion value, print a test pattern again and check the correction results.
