Adjusting the feed amount

Adjusting Color on the Trailing Edge of Sheets

If printed sheets are affected by banding in different colors toward the end of the sheet (about 20-30 mm from
the edge), try adjusting the feed amount of the trailing edge of sheets.
Follow these steps for standard automatic adjustment of the feed amount.
Note
•
If printed documents (including documents printed on rolls) are affected by banding in different colors
not only toward the end of the sheet but throughout the printed area, try adjusting the overall feed
amount. (→P.590)
•
This adjustment is only possible when feeding paper from the Cassette or Top Paper Feed Slot that
can be set up with a margin on the trailing edge of 3 mm (0.12 in).
1.
Load a sheet of unused paper A4/Letter-sized or larger.
Note
•
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.
