Adjusting Line Length
Adjusting Line Length
To ensure that lines in CAD drawings are printed at exactly the right length, use Adjust Length to adjust the
amount that paper is advanced.
There are two options in Adjust Length : AdjustmentPrint and Change Settings.
AdjustmentPrint
After a test pattern is printed, you will measure the discrepancy based on the results of printing.
Change Settings
No test pattern is printed. Instead, you will measure a document already printed to determine the discrepancy.
Additionally, two modes are available in both AdjustmentPrint and Change Settings : A:High or B:Standard/
Draft. Choose the mode that suits your particular printing application.
A:High
This setting is applied when Highest quality or High is selected in Print Quality in the printer driver.
B:Standard/Draft
This setting is applied when Standard or Fast is selected in Print Quality in the printer driver.
Note
We recommend executing the adjustment if you have changed the paper type or paper size.
Always check the Adj. Priority values before using Adjust Length. (See "Selecting a Feed Amount Adjustment Meth-
od.")
