About test patterns
This machine provides you two test patterns.
 Normal test pattern
(when using ink other than white ink)
When you use ink that you can check by printing a test
pattern on a white media, print this test pattern.
 Test pattern for checking white ink
Note on test printing
• When using leaf media, set a media of more than
A3 size put horizontally. If a media with narrow
width is set, printing will only be conducted to
midway.
• When using a roll media, rewind the media by
hand before printing so that it is not loose. When
the roll media has not been rewound tightly, it may
cause image quality to deteriorate.
