• When changing the print mode after performing standard head adjustment, make sure you adjust print head.
• Since all print modes are adjusted at once after performing Custom head adjustment, head adjustment is not required even after changing the print mode.
• When specifying a print mode for RIP software, etc, that is different from the mode set in the user type setting, perform Custom head adjustment and check
all patterns (A to F), and then adjust any patterns that are misaligned beforehand.
Head adjustment
Adjusts only the print mode used by the current user definition.
When you have adjusted the print mode using Standard, make the
resolution, pass count, and print direction of the print mode on the RIP
side equal to those of the userdefined print mode.
Allows you to adjust also a print mode other than the print mode used by
the current user definition.
This method optimizes print quality even if the print mode on the RIP side
is different from the user-defined mode.
