Prevent Sticking
We generally recommend to operate with this setting set
to
Off
. If the printer is turned on or printing starts while
the media is stuck to the platen, the media is not fed
correctly and could cause a jam. In that case, set to
On
although operations take longer before printing or
reactivating.

Correcting Print
Misalignment (Head
Alignment)
Given that there is a slight gap between the print head
and the media, the landing sites for the different colors
of ink may be affected by humidity, temperature,
inertial forces imparted by the print head, or the
direction of the print head as it moves from right to left
or left to right. As a result, print results may appear
grainy or out of focus. When this happens, perform
Head Alignment to correct the print misalignment.
The thickness of the media determines the distance
between the media and the print head. Head Alignment
values can be stored separately for each type of media.
Stored values can be recalled instantly the next time the
media is used.
Change the adjustment method depending on the print
direction.
For bidirectional printing
Select
Manual(Bi-D)
. If the graininess or misalignment
is not improved after performing
Manual(Bi-D)
, try
Manual(Dual Head)
. If there is still no improvement,
perform
Manual(Uni-D)
.
For unidirectional printing
Select
Manual(Dual Head)
. If the graininess or
misalignment is not improved after performing
Manual(Dual Head)
, perform
Manual(Uni-D)
.
For Head Alignment, you need to check the pattern and
enter the optimum adjustment value for alignment.
Notes on correct adjustment
The condition of media is important for correct head
alignment.
Observe the following points when loading media.
❏
Head Alignment varies with the media being used.
Load and adjust the media that will be used in the
actual print job.
❏
Pull the media to the prescribed position before
performing Head Alignment. Correct adjustment
may not be possible if the media is not pulled
sufficiently because the condition of the leading
edge of the media may worsen due to waves or other
issues.
