CORRECTING THE MEDIUM FEED RATE ACCORDING TO MEDIUM THICKNESS
[MEDIA COMP.]
The device plots an image on the medium while feeding it forward little by little.
When the thickness of the medium changes, the optimum feed rate changes accordingly. If this
occurs, the device may not plot a clear image (e.g., unwanted stripes may appear on the image). To
correct the medium feed rate according to the medium thickness, execute this function and make a
plotting test.
STEP
1. Select a type.
(See page 3.4). Here, select [Type.1].

Test plotting for correction of the medium feed rate starts.
Seven types of medium correction patterns are plotted.
6. Enter a correction value from the output pat-
tern.
Enter the correction value by pushing the JOG keys [ ] and
[ ].
If the printed pattern has a gap between lines
: Decrease [ADJUST].
If lines of the printed pattern overlap: Increase [ADJUST].
• When [ADJUST] is changed to 15, the pattern
moves by about 0.1 mm. Determine the correc-
tion value referencing this amount of movement.
