2. Check the Bi Direction checkbox to activate the bidirectional printing.
3. Perform printing so as the printing with the rst pass and the second pass is almost overlapped.
To make the media feed amount close to "0", adjust the value for the Feed Compensation.
* As a rough indication, a setting around "-15000" (Around "-10000" in the case of 8-head model printers)
makes the media feed amount close to "0".
Make an adjustment of the value where appropriate.
4. Print the le "5_BiD_123_12HEAD.group" ("4_BiD_12_8HEAD.group").
5. Check the results of printing, select where the printed lines are aligned most closely as one line, and input
the compensation value indicated with the line.
6. Feed the paper manually more than around 6 cm.
Refer to "*.*.**" for details.
7. Perform printing again to conrm that the printing of lines of each color is aligned in one line where ±0 is
indicated.
If the adjusted condition is not what is intended, repeat steps from 1 to 7.
20
8.5 Adjusting the media feed amount.
1. Open the le "6_Feed Compensate_12HEAD.group".
* For 8-head model printers, open "5_Feed Compensate_8HEAD.group".
2. Set the value for the Feed Compensation to "0".
3. Select the number of passes (resolution) for printing.
• Setting for each pass can be stored in the memory.
* To do so, setting for each pass is required.
4. Perform printing.
5. Check the results of printing, and input the compensation value indicated with the line.
If white stripes are shown, increase the value.
If black stripes are shown, decrease the value.
6. Perform printing again to conrm that there is no banding.
If the adjusted condition is not what is intended, repeat steps from 1 to 6.
CAUTION
●
Take a memo of the set values after all the settings are complete.
●
Set values are stored on your PC. Changing your PC may change the set values for the Important
Setup.
●
After changing the settings for EF Value, PH Heater, Print Speed, Feed Speed, height of the head and thickness of media (type), the results of adjustment may be different. If you change printing conditions, print the patterns for adjustment again, and make another adjustment if the results are not satisfactory.
