color) persists after head cleaning and head alignment have been
performed.
Visually inspect the printed pattern and enter the adjustment value by
hand. See "Feed Adjustment" on page 76.
1.5 Choose the platen gap (the distance between the print head and the
media).
2.0
The default setting of 2.0 is recommended in most situations. Choose 1.5
2.5 if print quality is unsatisfactory. Choose 2.5 if printout is scratched or

page 68 for more information.
The time needed for the ink to dry varies with ink density and the media
used. If the ink blurs on the media, set a longer time than the
recommended value for drying the ink.
Increasing the drying time increases the time needed to print.
