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. (
→
"Adjusting the Feed Amount Manually," User
Manual)
Note
•
To adjust the measurement scale and ensure accuracy (so that lines in CAD drawings are
printed at exactly the right length, for example), specify the amount of paper stretching
or shrinkage when adjusting the feed amount. (

"Adjusting the Measurement Scale for
Better Accuracy," User Manual)
Follow the steps below to adjust the feed amount automatically.

Prepare one unused sheet A4/Letter-sized or larger when

or two when

is selected (or one when using a sheet A2-sized or
larger).
When using a roll, load a roll 10 inches (254 mm) or wider.

Always make sure the loaded paper matches the media type setting. Adjustment
cannot be completed correctly unless the setting value matches the loaded paper.
