value less then 100%. A dull or damaged cutter blade will cause improper cutting as well as cutting media that is
not supported for the built in automatic cutter.

Backlight Film - Heavy Weight Polyester Banner - Adhesive Vinyl - DuPont Semi Gloss Proofing Paper and third

5. Paper Feed Adjustment:
The default is *0.00%. The Paper Feed Adjustment is very useful in removing Horizontal Banding using the stan-
dard Epson driver or a 3Rd party RIP and media. The horizontal banding will appear as thin light or dark lines that
repeat at the same distance. Make sure a nozzle check is performed prior to making this adjustment as missing or
deflected nozzles can also produce prints with horizontal banding. The banding this adjustment corrects is caused
by the media not being feed far enough
The distance between the horizontal banding depends on the print resolution. For example, the approximate dis-
tance between the lines for various resolutions are:
360dpi = 5mm, 720dpi = 3mm, 1440dpi = 1.8mm. To remove Dark Thin Lines the paper needs to feed further, try
a value in the + direction. To remove Light Thin Lines the paper needs to feed less, try a value in the - direction.
