Suction
Use this setting if you are unable to resolve
banding issues (horizontal striped lines or
uneven colors) in the standard print area
even after head cleaning or head
alignment.
Pattern Selected
Press the OK button to print an adjustment
pattern. Measure the distances between
the "+" symbols in the printed adjustment
pattern.
Use only the distance between the center
symbols or the average of the distances
between the left, center, and right symbols.
After the adjustment pattern is printing, the
length of the pattern will be displayed in the
control panel. Press the u/d buttons to enter
the measured value and press the OK
button.
Value Selected
Choose an adjustment between –0.70 and
+0.70%.
Selecting too small a value causes dark
bands; adjust the amount upward. Similarly,
choosing too large a value causes white
bands; adjust the amount downward.
It is important to choose the appropriate
amount of suction for the paper used in
order to maintain the correct distance
between the paper and the print head.
Choosing too high a value for thin or soft
paper will increase the distance between
the paper and the print head, causing print
quality to decline or preventing the paper
feeding correctly. If this happens, lower the
paper suction. The suction power is
weakened when the parameter is lowered.
