Head alignment (XPJ-1682SR Only)

This menu calibrates the dot placement between two
print heads installed on XPJ-1682SR.
Tap to open the submenu.
Align the heads in the following cases:
・ If the image quality does not improve after you have used the "Adjust Print" menu.
・ When switching to thin media or a type of media where ink drops do not spread.
After executing this menu, be sure to perform the "Adjust Print" function.
If you don't, the image quality during bidirectional printing may drop.
Submenus
You can make the adjustments more quickly than by selecting "Fine Pattern
ALL" in "Custom".
When selecting "Standard" here, you need to use the same print mode settings
for the RIP (Raster Image Processor) as the print mode settings for the User
Type.
Use the same settings for the resolution, pass and printing direction in the RIP
print mode as in the print mode for the User Type.
・ 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.

Adjustment is performed only for the print
mode set by the current User Type.
You can also adjust a print mode other than
the one used for the current User Type.
You can print with an optimal image quality
even if the RIP print mode is different from the
print mode used for the User Type.
Perform the automatic adjustment using the
embedded color sensor.
It helps to reduce time and increase the
alignment accuracy.
