Performing the color deadband test
Color Deadband provides a method for adjusting dot placement. In bidirectional printing
mode, the velocity of the carriage causes dots to miss the target area on the media. The
color deadband test pattern lets you check the velocity deadband values and adjust them
for the best printing results.
