Automatic Adjustment to Straighten Lines and Align Colors

If printed vertical lines are warped or colors are out of alignment, execute Print Head Alignment and adjust the print head position.

Choose from Auto or Manual for adjusting the print head.

Minor warping and misaligned colors can usually be improved by executing Auto. If there is no improvement, perform Manual.

When you execute Auto, the adjustment pattern is printed, and the print head position is adjusted based on the printing result automatically.

Important

  • Because the results of adjustment vary depending on the type of paper used for adjustment, use the same type of paper as you will use for printing.

  • This function is not available for paper with high transparency.
