Correct the ink drop position for bidirectional printing
When the condition for printing (media thickness/head height/etc.) has been changed, perform the following
operation to correct the ink drop position for bidirectional (Bi) printing and obtain the proper printing result.
Example of a Drop Position correct Printed Pattern
1
Set a media on the machine and set a printing origin. ( P.2-5)
2
Press the key twice in LOCAL.
3
Press the key.
4
Press to select the resolution.
• Setting value: Y600dpi / Y900dpi / Y1200dpi
• Perform correction for all resolutions.
5
Press the key.
6
Press the key to start pattern printing.
• Test pattern is printed. (The printed patterns are called Pattern 1,
Pattern 2, Pattern 3... in the order of printing.)
7
Press to correct the dot position of Pattern
1~.
• Corrected feeding rate: -40.0 to 40.0
• Open the front cover and check the test patterns. The position where an outward feeding line and a
return feeding line become one straight line is the correction value.
• When the correction value in not between -40.0 and 40.0, adjust the height of the printing heads and
then perform the operations in Step 2 and later.
• The correction pattern for aligning the ink drop position cannot be printed on a media whose width is
less than 450 mm. Print quality cannot be guaranteed in such a case. Use unidirectional printing.
The dots at the fourth position counted from the zero
position in the positive direction form a straight line.
In this case, the dot position correction value is 4.0.
