3-3 1 2 3 4 5 6 Chapter 3 Settings Registering optimal print conditions to match usage With this machine, you can register four separate print conditions (SETUP 1–4) to suit the media used. To print under conditions that you rarely use, select "Temporary" and set the print conditions. Registering print conditions in SETUP 1–4 1 With the screen in local mode, select [MENU] > [SETUP], and then press the [ENTER] key. • SETUP options are displayed. 2 Select a SETUP option from 1 to 4 and press the [ENTER] key. • The SETUP menu is displayed. 3 Select and set each setting item in the SETUP menu list. • For details, see P.3-2 [Setup menu table]. Feed correction You can correct the media feed amount by printing a correction pattern. Correct the media feed amount to suit the type of media you are using. Unsuitable correction values may result in banding or other printing problems. 1 Load the media. • P.2-4 [Loading Media] 2 With the screen in local mode, select [MENU] > [SETUP], and then press the [ENTER] key. • SETUP options are displayed. 3 Select a SETUP option from 1 to 4 and press the [ENTER] key. • The SETUP menu is displayed. 4 Select [FEED COMP.], and then press the [ENTER] key. 5 Press the [ENTER] key to print the correction pattern. 6 Check the correction pattern. • A screen for entering the correction value is displayed 7 Enter a correction value. • Entering positive correction values: Widens the boundary between bands. • Entering negative correction values: Narrows the boundary between bands. • Changing the correction value by 30 adjusts the boundary width by about 0.1 mm. 8 Press the [ENTER] key. • Print another correction pattern to check. Dot position correction 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. 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 [MENU] > [SETUP], and then press the [ENTER] key. • SETUP options are displayed. 3 Select a SETUP option from 1 to 4 and press the [ENTER] key. • The SETUP menu is displayed. 4 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). 5 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. • For example, after printing on a different type of media than usual, you can print on your usual media again simply by selecting the registered settings (1–4). • Temporary settings are restored to defaults (the state at the time of purchase) when the machine is turned off. SETUP1 is selected on startup if the machine is turned off with "Temporary" selected. • You can also copy print conditions for SETUP 1– 4 to "Temporary" and adjust them as needed before printing. Similarly, conditions set in "Temporary" can be copied to SETUP 1–4. • Roll media at the rear of the machine will not be taut after you perform feed correction and the media returns to the print origin. Manually rewind roll media before printing to keep it taut. Failure to observe these instructions may result in image quality problems. • Two bands are printed in the correction pattern. Adjust the feed amount so that the boundary between the bands has an even density. Second band First band Media feed direction
