Adjusting the Amount of Media Feed

Adjusting the Amount of Media Feed
Use the following procedure to run the Adjust Band
function to adjust the amount of media feed if you see white
lines or dark color lines in your printed images. The printer
prints the band adjustment pattern and reads the resulting
printout as it prints it to automatically adjust the setting for
the amount of media feed for the media currently loaded in
the printer. The amount of media feed can be set for
different types of media. Before executing the adjust band
function, make sure roll media or cut sheets of A3 size or
wider are loaded in the printer.
Important
Before you adjust the amount of feed, you must use
the operation panel to select the media type of the
paper loaded in the printer. If the value of the media
type selection does not match the paper loaded in the
printer, you will not achieve good print results and the
quality of the printing will be poor.
To perform Adjust Band, select Band Joint in Feed
Priority.
Note
If you are using cut sheets, make sure you load at
least one sheet of unused A3 paper or larger (not the
blank side of used paper).
There is no automatic adjustment for highly
transparent film. Execute Fine Tuning to perform the
adjustment with manual entry.
