Adjusting the feed amount

Adjusting the Feed Amount Automatically

If printed images are affected by banding in different colors, adjust the amount that paper is fed.
Auto Band Adj. offers two modes, Standard Adj. and Advanced Adj.. Use Advanced Adj. if Standard Adj.
does not eliminate banding, or when using paper other than genuine Canon paper or paper for which printing has
been veried by Canon.
Always check the Feed Priority setting before using Auto Band Adj.. (→P.577)
Note
•
When using highly transparent media not compatible with Auto Band Adj., you must adjust the feed
amount manually. (→P.580)
•
If you will use POP board or similar heavyweight paper for adjustment, we recommend using Advanced
Adj..
•
If additional ne-tuning is necessary after Auto Band Adj., use Fine Band Adj.. (→P.582)
•
To adjust the measurement scale and ensure accuracy (so that lines in CAD drawings are printed
at exactly the right length, for example), specify the amount of paper stretching or shrinkage when
adjusting the feed amount. (→P.583)
•
This may take some time, depending on the type of paper.
•
Use paper of the same type and size for adjustment as you will use for printing.
