Notes on Making Adjustments
❏
Correctly load the paper that actually requires
adjustment and then select the paper type that
matches the loaded paper.
❏
If paper with visible curls, wrinkles, waves, folds,
or bends is used, correct adjustment may not be
possible. Remove curled, wavy, or folded sections
by cutting them off.
Adjustment Procedure
The adjustment procedure is performed in wizard
format. When you proceed with operations in
accordance with the instructions displayed on the
screen, a set of adjustment patterns will be printed
twice.
Adjustment is performed by visually checking both the
first and second sets of patterns and specifying the
optimal patterns.
The following shows the length and number of sheets
of paper used for adjustment pattern printing.
Roll paper: Approx. 420 mm
Auto sheet feeder: 2 sheets of A4 or A3

using roll paper with the auto cut turned off,
the paper cannot be removed to print the
second set of patterns even though printing of
the first set of patterns has finished. Do not

A print head nozzle clogging check is performed
automatically before adjustment pattern printing.
If nozzles are determined to be clogged, cleaning
starts and the adjustment patterns will be printed
