If Banding Occurs - Canon 3433B010 Basic Manual

If printed images are affected by banding in different colors across the sheet, execute Adj. Quality for automatic
adjustment of the paper feed amount.
There are two modes of automatic adjustment to correct banding: Auto(GenuinePpr) and Auto(OtherPaper) .
In either mode, the printer prints and reads a band adjustment test pattern for automatic adjustment of the feed
amount.
• Auto(GenuinePpr)
Use this mode with paper identifi ed in the Paper Reference Guide . (→
• Auto(OtherPaper)
Use this mode with paper not in the Paper Reference Guide , or if Auto(GenuinePpr) does not eliminate
banding.
• Always check the Adj. Priority values before using Auto(GenuinePpr) or Auto(OtherPaper) .
(→"Selecting a Feed Amount Adjustment Method (Feed Priority)," User Manual)
• Adjustment is not possible with Auto(GenuinePpr) and Auto(OtherPaper) when using highly transparent media. In
this case, use Manual adjustment.
