• Corrected feeding rate: -40 to 40
• Check the test patterns. The position where an outward feeding
line and a return feeding line become one straight line is the
correction value.

The dots at the fourth position counted from the zero
position in the positive direction form a straight line.
In this case, the dot position correction value is 4.0.
