4-4 Optimizing Printing to Match Media Thickness
Description
The movement distance of media experiences subtle changes due to the thickness of the media and the temperature of
the media heating system. When the movement distance becomes discrepant, horizontal stripes are more likely to
occur during printing. We recommend performing correction to match the media you're using and the media heating
system. Repeat the process of printing a test pattern and entering a correction value a number of times to find the
optimal value. It may also be a good idea to examine actual printing, and reduce the correction value if white horizon-
tal stripes are prominent or increase the value if dark horizontal stripes are prominent.
Printing this test pattern using parameters identical to those for actual printing. Examples such as printing on media
scraps may not yield correct results.
Note, however, that you can also make this setting on the computer (by, for example, choosing the media type in the
RIP program you are using). Use this feature when you want to make the setting on the printer, without changing any
settings on the computer. When you have made the setting on the computer, the computer's setting is used and the
printer's setting is ignored.
