Enhancing Printing Quality
With some types of paper and under some conditions, adjusting the printer as follows with the paper to be used can enhance
printing quality when printing fine lines/text or photos.
Two adjustment options are available: standard adjustment (with the Printhead height set to Automatic ) and supplemental
adjustment (used if standard adjustment is not effective).
Important
• Ideal temperature and humidity during adjustment and for printing in general when the Printhead height is set
to Automatic are 20–30ºC and 30–60%. Under other environmental conditions, adjustment may not enhance
printing quality.
Note
