Chapter 2 Basic Operations 2-11 2 2 2 5 6 If the Positions of Dots Shift Changing the media and print head height and temperature changes around the print head will also alter the drop positions. Correct the drop position to suit the type of media used. Image defects (e.g., overlaid lines or blurred images) will result if the drop position is not properly corrected. Dot position correction 1 Load the media. • P.2-4 [Loading Media] • Printing a pattern requires media at least 500 mm wide. 2 With the screen in local mode, select [ ADJUST ]. • The adjustment menu is displayed. 3 Select [DROP.POScorrect] and press the [ENTER] key. • The pattern for correcting the drop position is now printed. • Multiple test patterns are printed, which are referred to by the order of printing (1, 2, 3, and so on). 4 Enter the correction value for pattern 1, and then press the [ENTER] key. • Correction value:-40 to 40 • The position where the outward and return lines form a single straight line indicates the correction value to use. • If the correction value to use does not lie in the range of -40 to 40, adjust the printing head height and repeat this process from step 2. 5 Do the same to enter a correction value for pattern 2, and then press the [ENTER] key. Printing Data Starting printing 1 Load the media. • P.2-4 [Loading Media] 2 With the screen in local mode, press [REMOTE]. • The machine enters remote mode and can receive data from a computer. 3 Send the RIP data from the computer. • Printing now begins. Even for the same data, printing speed varies depending resolution, media width, and print origin position. • The ACTIVE lamp flashes, and the display shows print conditions. • For details on how to send data, refer to the RIP software instruction manual. In this case, the dot position correction value is 4.0. Print direction • When using roll media, manually rewind the media before printing to keep it taut. Failure to observe these instructions may result in image quality problems.
