Step 2 : Initial Adj ustment (Correcting f or Misalignment in B idirectional P rinting)
This machine performs bidirectional printing (in which the heads perform printing during both their out-
bound pass and return pass). This method offers the advantage of being able to shorten output times, but
subtle misalignment occurs during the outbound and return passes, which makes "bidirectional correction"
necessary. This adjustment must be performed in the following cases.
When using this machine for the first time
When changing the media to use
When printing is not improved by performing simple correction for bidirectional printing (P. 120, "Cor-
recting for Misalignment in Bidirectional Printing")
