EPSON Stylus Pro 9500
ADJ REAR SENSOR POSITION
This function makes sure the P REAR sensor correctly detects the rear edge of
cut-sheet paper to allow the user to print with the largest possible printable
area but without printing off the edge of the paper and marring future printouts.
The printer prints an A3-size test pattern. Using a ruler, measure the distance
from the rear edge of the pattern to the rear edge of the paper, and then enter
this measurement when prompted. This value is stored in the printer's firmware
to be referenced against the printhead nozzle position.
NOTE: This adjustment is for the purpose of detecting the edges of
cut sheet paper. This is because this item could not be
detected in the top and bottom detection in the previous
item.
1. Make sure "Adj Rear Sensor Pos." appears, and press the Enter button.
2. Load A3-size paper in portrait (short edge first) orientation when you see
the "Please Set CutSheet" message. After the paper initializes, press the
Enter button to print the check pattern.
3. After printing is finished, measure the distance from the rear edge of the
printed pattern to the rear edge of the paper. Press the SelecType or Item
button until you see "RearSen. Pos. xx.xmm", and then enter the
measurement in increments of 0.1mm using the item select (Paper Feed)
+/- buttons.
