2. Correcting the Misalignment of Printing and Cutting
Procedure
1.
Tap .
2.
Tap [Media Settings]>[Cutting Settings]>[Print & Cut Position Adjustment].
3.
Tap [Execute] next to [Printing Test 1 (Misalignment Check)].
Printing Test 1 is printed and cut. The test pattern is printed at each edge of the media.
If the media is tilted, the positions at the edges will be misaligned. You can also adjust for misalignments due
to the media being tilted by printing the test pattern at each edge.
MEMO
4.
Check the result of Printing Test 1.
Check whether the printing position (shaded part) and the cutting position (red line) are aligned.
An example of the printing position and the cutting position being misaligned is shown in the fol-
lowing figure.
[F] indicates the feed direction of the media (the feed direction) and [S] indicates the direction of
print head movement (the scan direction).
If the printing position and the cutting position are aligned, no corrections are necessary.
If the printing position and the cutting position are not aligned, proceed to the next procedure.
5.
Tap [Execute] next to [Printing Test 2 (Correction Values)].
Printing Test 2 is printed and cut.
6.
Check the correction values from the Printing Test 2 condition.
The point where the cutting line (A) intersects the correction-value scale (B) is the correction val-
ue. In the following figure, the correction value is "−0.3."
Check the media feed direction (the feed direction) and the direction of print head movement (the
scan direction).
