alignment.
There are two modes for automatic Printhead adjustment:
Auto(Standard)
and
Auto(Advanced)
.
Auto(Standard)
will fix most slight image distortion or color misalignment, but if not, try
Auto(Advanced)
.
Use
Auto(Standard)
or
Auto(Advanced)
to have the printer print and read a test pattern for automatic adjustment
of the Printhead.
Important
•
Always make sure the loaded paper matches the type of paper specified on the printer. Adjustment cannot be comple-
ted correctly unless the loaded paper matches the settings.
•
This function is not available with CAD Tracing Paper, CAD Translucent Matte Film, or CAD Clear Film.
If adjustment is not possible as expected using highly transparent film or similar media, try another type of paper, or try
Manual

•
Use
Auto(Standard)
if you have switched to another type of paper or if you want the boundaries between colors to
appear as clear as possible.
•
Use
Auto(Advanced)
to fine-tune the space between nozzles or colors if you have switched the printhead or if clearer
printing is required. We recommend
Auto(Advanced)
for printing at the highest level of quality.
•
We recommend using the type of paper you use most often for adjustment.
