Selectors 3 to 5: Paper feed amount compensation (for preventing banding at the leading edge of
recording paper fed from the photo tray)
This compensation function is usually enabled for preventing banding (horizontal streaks) from
occurring at the leading edge of recording paper fed from the photo tray.
When postcards or small size paper are fed from the standard paper tray, however, this
compensation function can be counterproductive. If so, disable the function, and the print quality
may be improved.
Selector 6: Registration time offset to slipping in plain paper feeding
Enabling the registration time offset with this selector increases the registration time (during which
the paper feed roller rotates in the reverse direction), avoiding the occurrence of a paper feeding
timeout error even if the paper cannot reach the registration sensor actuator within the predetermined
registration time due to slipping of the paper pull-in rollers against paper in the paper tray.
Selecting the "Fast" print quality disables the registration time offset even if it is enabled with this
selector.
NOTE: Selecting the "Glossy paper" automatically enables the registration time offset.
Selector 7: Unidirectional print for higher print quality
The machine prints bidirectionally by default. To get higher print quality, set this selector to "1" to
switch to the unidirectional print mode in which printing is performed only when the head/carriage
unit travels from left to right. Note that the unidirectional print mode sacrifices the print speed.
