Correcting The Media Feed Rate [Media Comp.] - MIMAKI JV5-130S Operation Manual

CHAPTER 3 Print Output

Correcting the media feed rate [MEDIA COMP.]

The media feed rate changes when the media type or any heater temperature is changed, or depending on
whether the take-up device is used or not. Be sure to correct the media feed rate.
If the correction value is not appropriate, stripes may appear on the print, thus resulting in a poor print.
CORRECTION PATTERN
Print two bands.
Adjust so that an even color density is obtained around the boundary between the two bands. (Available
setting values : -255 - 255)
STEPS:
1
Make sure that the printer is in LOCAL mode.
If it is in REMOTE mode, press the [REMOTE] key.
2
Press the [FEED COMP.] key, select a Type using the [ ] or [ ] key, and press the
[ENTER] key.
The printer will print the pattern.

When any heater temperature is changed, first make sure that the CONSTANT
lamps are lit and the preset temperatures have been reached, and then start
correction.
On completion of [MEDIA COMP.] during use of a roll media, the media returns
to the printing origin. Then the roll media in the rear of the printer will slacken.
Before printing, take up the slack in the roll media by hand; a loose roll media
can result in an inferior image quality.
When printing is to be performed while using the take-up device, set the media
first and then perform [MEDIA COMP.].
