Adjusting the Feed Amount Automatically
If printed images are affected by banding in different colors, adjust the amount that paper is fed. There are
two modes for adjusting the amount paper is fed,
Standard Adj.
and
Advanced Adj.
.
Advanced Adj.
offers
a wider range of adjustment than
Standard Adj.
. If using
Standard Adj.
does not eliminate streaks, or if
streaks are quite noticeable, try
Advanced Adj.
.
Follow the steps below for standard automatic adjustment of the feed amount.
When using highly transparent media for which automatic adjustment is not supported, you must adjust the
feed amount manually. For instructions on manual adjustment, see “Adjusting the Feed Amount Manually”.
