Because of manufacturing variations and usage, a printer may not
print images with the exact dimensions specified by the application.
X-ACT allows you to calibrate your printer to compensate for these
differences.
Front Panel X-ACT
Your printer’s front panel GRAPHICS: XACT menu allows you to
make 1/2 mm line length adjustments using the following procedure.
Note: To use the front panel XACT, you need a metric ruler with 1/2
millimeter rule markings. You
must use the standard paper
cassette when making X-ACT adjustments. Adjustments for
one size media apply to every media size; you do not have to
make individual adjustments for each size.
