If the Positions of Dots Shift...
When the condition for printing (Distance of the platen and
the head /media thickness/media type/etc.) has been
changed, perform the following operation to correct the
ink drop position for bidirectional (Bi) printing and obtain
the proper printing result.
Example of a Printed Pattern
1
Setting a Media (
• In order to print a pattern, a media that is 500 mm
wide at least is necessary.

6
Press
to enter the correction
value for pattern 1, and press the
key.
•
Corrected feeding rate
: -40 to 40
• Check the test patterns. The position where an
outward feeding line and a return feeding line
become one straight line is the correction value.
• When the correction value in not between -40 and
40, adjust the height of the printing heads and
then perform the operations in Step 2 and later.
