6-7 Correcting Misalignment for Printing or Cutting
Description
The movement distance of media experiences subtle changes due to the thickness of the media and
the temperature of the media heating system. When the movement distance becomes discrepant,
horizontal stripes are more likely to occur during printing. We recommend performing correction to
match the media you're using and the media heating system. Also, perform the actual printing in an
operating environment identical to that used for the test pattern.
To make the setting for the correction value even more accurate, we recommend carrying out the fol-
lowing before printing the test pattern.
After loading the media, use
○
Set the print-start position near the center of the media.

Note, however, that you can also make this setting on the computer (by, for example, choosing the
media type in the software RIP you are using). When you have made the setting on the computer, the
computer's setting is used and the printer's setting is ignored.
