A test pattern is printed for adjustment based on the amount of paper stretching or shrinkage.
The scale bar shows "Millimeter" in 50 mm units and "Inch" in 1 inch units.
Note

A test pattern is printed in black when you choose A: Standard or in magenta if you choose B: Other.

Measure the length of the adjustment pattern. Calculate the difference between the measured
length and actual length. Enter it as a percentage and press the OK button.
You can adjust the value in 0.02% increments. Press ▲ to increase the value or ▼ to decrease it.
If the scale is printed shorter than actual size, set the value toward the positive side; if it is printed
longer, set the value toward the negative side.

case, no test pattern for adjustment is printed.

If you have not selected a coated paper in the Paper Details menu, B: Other is not shown in
