Printing of the test pattern starts.

12.

Check the test pattern to see whether the correction was successful.

Check that the gap and overlap are the smallest for the figure indicated by "

" (that is, the current correc-

tion value). If the gap and overlap are smaller for another figure, set the correction value again.

When you have successfully performed the correction, press [MENU] to go back to the original screen.

MEMO

Depending on the software RIP you are using, you can also configure this setting in the software RIP (by, for example, choosing

the media type). When you have made the setting in the software RIP, the software RIP's setting is used and the printer's

setting is ignored.
