Adjusting The Printhead Alignment Automatically - Canon imagePROGRAF iPF710 Manual

Adjusting the Printhead Alignment Automatically

If printed vertical lines are warped or colors are out of alignment, adjust the Printhead
alignment. Adjust the Printhead alignment automatically or manually by printing and
reading a test pattern.
There are two modes for automatic adjustment: Standard Adj. and Advanced
Adj.Standard Adj. will fix most slight image distortion or color misalignment, but if
not, try Advanced Adj.
If using special media or printing does not improve even after performing automatic
adjustment using advanced adjustment, try manual adjustment.
Follow these steps for standard automatic adjustment of the Printhead.
1
Prepare one unused sheet A4/Letter-sized or larger when Standard Adj. is selected
or five when Advanced Adj. is selected.
When using a roll, load a roll 10 inches (254 mm) or wider.
Note
•
Use Standard Adj. if you have switched to another type of paper or if you want the
boundaries between colors to appear as attractive as possible.
•
Use Advanced Adj. to fine-tune the space between nozzles or colors if you have
switched the printhead or if you want printed documents to appear as vivid as
possible. We recommend using Advanced Adj. for printing at a higher level
of image quality.
•
Always make sure the loaded paper matches the media type setting on the printer.
Adjustment cannot be completed correctly unless the setting value matches the
loaded paper.
•
We recommend using the type of paper you use most often for adjustment.
•
This function is not available for CAD Tracing Paper, CAD Translucent Matte
Film or CAD Clear Film. If adjustment is not possible as expected using highly
transparent film or similar media, try another type of media or adjust the Printhead
alignment manually. Use another type of paper for adjustment.
