Calibrating your printer
Head alignment (XPJ-1682SR Only)
Before printing an image on your printer for the first time, follow these steps to
calibrate your printer to ensure accurate print quality.
You can print out the adjustment pattern in this menu to check the misalignment of the
print head, and then adjust it.
You can choose one of the following methods:
・ If you experience following problems, the head alignment can help to improve print
quality:
・ Suffering from poor print quality in unidirectional printing mode.
・ Print quality does not improve even after performing print quality adjustment
・ After you have performed head adjustment, make sure you perform print quality
calibration.
There may be misalignment caused by head adjustment.
・ If you change the print mode after performing the Standard head alignment, you
need to perform the head alignment for the print mode chosen.
・ Since all print modes are adjusted at once after performing Custom head adjustment,
head adjustment is not required even after changing the print mode.
・ When specifying a print mode for RIP software, etc, that is different from the mode
set in the user type setting, perform Custom head adjustment and check all patterns
(A to F), and then adjust any patterns that are misaligned beforehand.
・ If print defects (like banding or grainy look) still appear on the print, try an auto
calibration again, or go to "Adjust Print1/ Standard" or "Adjust Print2/ Custom" to
perform calibration.
・ If a roll media starts to cockle during calibration, load the media again.
