(5) Drag and drop the "media.prn" onto the Brother Maintenance USB Printer driver icon in
the Filedrgs window shown above.
The machine displays the "RECEIVING DATA" on the LCD and prints out the "MEDIA
CHECK" patterns (see
page 9-40 for a sample printout). This is for checking the left and
right margins.
(6) Measure the left and right margins on the printed pattern.
The upper row is printed in 600 dpi, and the lower row, in 1200 dpi.
(Example) 600 dpi Left: 0.8 mm, Right: 1.1 mm
1200 dpi Left: 0.9 mm, Right: 1.2 mm
If both of the left and right margins are within the range from 0.9 to 1.1 mm, no adjustment
is required. If not, go to step (7).
