• For best printing results, the printer fine-tunes the print head height and the feed amount for each type of paper. Be sure to
select the type of paper to use correctly before printing.
Important
• Because the printer fine-tunes the feed amount for each type of paper, the margins and the size of printed images may vary
depending on the type of paper used. If margins and the size of images are not as you expected, adjust the paper feed
amount.
(See "Adjusting the Feed Amount.")
• Rolls and sheets have different printing areas, and sheets having a larger bottom margin than rolls.
(See "Print Area.")
