waste ink bottles in advance.

Head Alignment
-
If print results are grainy or blurry, perform Head Alignment to
realign the print head for each platen size. Visually inspect the
printed check pattern, and then enter the adjustment value for
the pattern with the least visible lines. If there is no optimum
adjustment value in the printed check pattern, perform this
setting again after entering "1" or "13". When
Uni-Directional
is selected in the software or the printer's settings, the print
result is not affected by this alignment.

Offset Head Alignment
-10 to +10 (0*1)
Use this setting if you want to print without performing
Head
Alignment
when you cannot adjust the height of the platen
correctly because of an uneven print surface such as a pocket.
"+3" is the equivalent adjustment value to lowering the
platen's height by one step with the height adjustment lever.
Perform
Head Alignment
to further correct misalignment in
the image. The setting you make in this option reverts to its
default value if you perform
Head Alignment
.
Feed Adjustment
-1.00 to +1.00 %
(0.00*1)
Use this setting to adjust the platen feed for each time the print
head moves. Specify a larger number if dark lines are
appearing, and a smaller number if faint lines are appearing.
