CIP Training L5160/L5130
Basic Operation
• Printing the test pattern consumes ink. Perform this function only when necessary.
• Perform no other operations while the test pattern is printing.
• An error will occur and test pattern will not print if:
• There is a misfeed.
• One of the machine's covers is open.
• The machine is performing maintenance operations.
• The machine has run out of ink.
• The machine has run out of media.
• Before adjusting, ensure that there is no media floating or skewing. If such issues occur, feed
the media from the [Origin Setting] screen to reset the media or to resolve the skewing.
• Before adjusting, ensure that the heaters reach a temperature appropriate for use.
• When printing on media with the heaters switched off, set the temperatures of the pre-
heater, print heater, and post-heater to minimum.
• If nozzle clogging or bending lines occur, the machine cannot perform the adjustment
successfully. We recommend performing head cleaning before adjusting.
• This machine cannot adjust the drop position automatically for transparent or colored media.
Adjust the drop position manually. For details, see "Adjusting the Drop Position Manually".
• If the message "Failed to print." appears while printing the test pattern, press [Confirm] to
clear it, check the message that appears on the control panel, and then carry out the
adjustment procedure accordingly from the beginning.
Adjusting the Drop Position Automatically
This function corrects the misalignment of the ink dropping position automatically so that it
reduces image quality defects.
You cannot print a test pattern on narrow media. When adjusting the drop position
automatically, use media that has a width of 297 mm (approx. 11.7 inches) or more.
