If Vertical Lines Are Warped Or Colors Are Misaligned - Canon imagePROGRAF iPF8300S Basic Guide No.2 Basic Manual

If vertical lines in printed documents are warped or colors are out of alignment, execute Head Posi. Adj. . The
printer will print and read a test pattern, and the Printhead position will be adjusted automatically.
There are three modes for automatic Printhead adjustment: Auto(Standard) , Auto(Advanced) and
Auto(Expansion) .
• Auto(Standard)
Fixes slight distortion and color misalignment.
• Auto(Advanced)
Try adjustment in this mode if Auto(Standard) does not improve printing.
• Auto(Expansion)
Try adjustment in this mode if vertical lines are warped or colors are out of alignment when the printer driver
option Print Priority is set to Proof .
• This function is not available with CAD Tracing Paper , CAD Translucent Matte Film , or CAD Clear Film .
If adjustment is not possible as expected using highly transparent fi lm or similar media, try another type of paper, or
try Manual adjustment.

• Because the results of adjustment vary depending on the type of paper used for adjustment, use the same type
of paper as you will use for printing. Even if you will print on a different type of paper, we recommend using
Auto(Advanced) for adjustment.
• If Auto(Advanced) does not improve printing, try adjustment in Manual mode.
(→"Manual Adjustment to Straighten Lines and Colors (Head Posi. Adj.)," User's Guide)
• Advanced adjustment can enable superior printing quality when printing fi ne lines or text at high precision on glossy
or semi-glossy photo or proofi ng paper.
