Description
The bidirectional-printing mode (in which the heads perform printing during both their outbound pass and return pass)
offers the advantage of being able to shorten printing times, but subtle misalignment occurs during the outbound and re-
turn passes. The procedure to correct this and eliminate misalignment is bidirectional correction. This misalignment varies
according to the head height and the thickness of the media, so we recommend performing correction to match the media
you're using.
