Set The Media Feeding; Setting Feed Correction - Ricoh L4160 Operation Manual

Set the media feeding

Correct the feeding rate of media.
If the correction value is not appropriate, stripes may appear on the printed image, thus resulting in a poor
printing.
• When you have changed the media type, check the pattern and perform adjustment depending on the
status.
• When you have changed the temperature of the heaters, make sure that the [CONSTANT] lamp lights
up and that the preset temperature is reached, and then start the correction.
• When using a roll medium, rewind the medium by hand before printing so that it is not loose. When
the roll medium has not been rewound tightly, it may cause image quality to deteriorate.
• When printing with a take-up device, set the media first and then perform media correction.

Setting Feed Correction

A pattern for media correction is printed and a media-feeding rate is corrected.
• Two bands are printed in the correction pattern.
• Make adjustment so that an even color density is obtained in the boundary between the two bands.
• If the correction pattern that has been printed on a media such as transparent film is difficult to
discern, feed the media forward so that the printed area is out of the drying heater, place a sheet of
paper on the back of the media, and then rewind the media.
• When making adjustment to the media-feeding rate, use of a magnifying glass is recommended.
