4.2.1 HEAD ADJUST

 Outline
Adjust the head tilt, the forward/backward position of adjacent heads, stagger position (SWJ-320S4 only).
When the head adjustment is incorrect, be sure to execute the adjustment since it affects other
parameter adjustments.
SWJ-320S series offer following 2 ways to adjust the print head.
1)Adjust slant, stagger, and position at the same time by [AVERAGING ADJ.].
<Advantages>
 No feed is in, and thus no substantial effect of media's skew.
 Given that slant, stagger, and position can be adjusted at the same time, adjustment in short time is
possible.
 Image quality is better in Bi-d printing rather than adjusting slant by [SLANT ADJUST]
<Disadvantages>
 Image quality is deteriorated in Uni-d printing rather than adjusting slant by [SLANT ADJUST]
2)Adjust slant, stagger, and position separately by [SLANT ADJUST]/[STAGGER ADJUST]/ [POSI-
TION ADJUST].
<Advantages>
 Image quality is better in Uni-d printing compared to adjusting slant with [AVERAGING ADJ.]
<Disadvantages>
 In [SLANT ADJUST], maladjustment may occur by the effect of media skew.
 Slant, stagger, and position cannot be adjusted at the same time, and thus it takes time.
 Image quality is deteriorated in Bi-d printing compared to adjusting slant with [AVERAGING ADJ.]
 The development department recommends adjustment by [AVERAGING ADJ.], which adjustment
time is short, and image quality is better in Bi-d printing.
 The head is adjusted by [AVERAGING ADJ.] at the time of shipment from the factory.
