Chapter 2 Printing 2.9 Feed Correction Changing the media may affect the feed amount due to various factors, including the weight and thickness of the media and whether the take-up unit is used. Correct the drop position to suit the type of media used. Image defects (e.g., dark or light streaks) will result if the feed is not properly corrected.
Page 80 Chapter 2 Printing • Once adjustment is complete, the medium will be fed to the print origin. Sagging may occur in the rear roll medium. Rewind roll media by hand to eliminate any sagging. Correcting the Media Feed During Printing You can also correct the media feed amount in REMOTE mode or while printing.
Page 81: Correcting The Drop Position
Chapter 2 Printing 2.10 Correcting the Drop Position Changing the media and print head height and temperature changes around the print head will also alter the drop positions. Correct the drop position to suit the type of media used. Image defects (e.g., overlaid lines or blurred images) will result if the drop position is not properly corrected.
Page 82 Chapter 2 Printing • If the lines do not coincide when the correction value is within the range -40 to 40, the print head height may have been improperly adjusted.

There are some limitations to register marks. Read the following thoroughly before creating register marks. Trimming register marks cannot be used with this machine. Register Marks The following three types of register marks can be used with this machine: Mark shape...
Page 109: Register Mark Size
Chapter 4 Cutting Data with Register Marks Register Mark Size The recommended register mark size (A) is within the range of A4 size (210 mm × 297 mm) to A3 size (297 mm × 420 mm). If the dimensions exceed A3, the machine may fail to detect register marks due to media feeding problems (e.g., media meandering).
Page 110: Reading Range Of Register Marks
This machine can detect register marks in the range shown below. If the margin is small, the edge of the media may be incorrectly identified as a register mark. When copying data with MIMAKI RIP software (RasterLink), leave a space of at least 210 mm from the rear edge of the media.
