Setting the reference value for dot misalignment correction [PG DROP ADJUST.]
Setting the reference value for dot misalignment correction
[PG DROP ADJUST.]
Correct the difference in the ink fall points between outward trip and homeward trip.
Set the reference value for the automatic adjustment to be made when the head gap is changed.
Print eight types of test patterns, compare the ink fall points of outward trip and those of homeward trip and
adjust dot positions.
STEPS:
1
Make sure that the printer is in LOCAL mode.
If it is in REMOTE mode, press the [REMOTE] key.
2
Select [MAINTENANCE] using the [FUNCTION] key and press the [ENTER] key.
3
Select [PG DROP ADJUST.] by pressing the [

] key three times and press the
[ENTER] key.
4
Once [PRINT START] is displayed, press the [ENTER] key.
The printer starts printing eight test patterns for adjustment.
The eight test patterns that are output are sequentially named [PATTERN 1] to [PATTERN 8].

On completion of [PG DROP ADJUST.] during use of a roll media, the media
returns to the printing origin. Then the roll media in the rear of the printer will
slacken.
Before printing, take up the slack in the roll media by hand; a loose roll media
can result in an inferior image quality.

Dots may be slightly out of alignment even after [PG DROP ADJUST.] is made.
In such a case, perform [DROP.POScorrect] of [MAINTENANCE].
The procedure for [DROP.POScorrect] is the same as that for [PG DROP
ADJUST.], but the test patterns to be used are [Pattern 1] to [Pattern 4].
(See 3-52)

If [PG DROP ADJUST.] is performed, the correction value of the selected user
type [DROP. POS correct] will be cleared.
