Optimizing Paper
Settings (Media Adjust)
Media Adjust has three main types.
❏ Easy Adjustment
❏ Paper Feed Adjust
❏ Print Head Alignment
Perform Easy Adjustment in the following cases.
❏ Print results have streaks (horizontal banding or
uneven colors)
❏ Duplicated ruled lines, warped lettering, or grainy
printing
❏ When registered with custom paper settings
Note:
Adjustment for paper registered with custom paper
settings
With roll paper and cut sheet, optimal paper settings
will differ even when the paper types are the same.
When registering roll paper and cut sheet with the
same paper type, adjust for each of these. For details on
custom paper setting, see the following Custom Paper
Setting menu.
U “General Settings - Printer Settings” on page 142
However, if a problem with print results can be
specified, then perform the following adjustment in
accordance with the situation.
❏ If print results have streaks (horizontal banding
or uneven colors):
Perform Paper Feed Adjust - Auto
U “Paper Feed Adjust (Auto)” on page 47
❏ If duplicated ruled lines, warped lettering, or
grainy printing:
Perform Print Head Alignment - Auto
U “Print Head Alignment (Auto)” on page 47
The sensor reads adjustment patterns while it is
printing for both of these, and automatically registers
the optimum adjustment value to the printer.
Notes on Making Adjustments
❏ Correctly load the paper that actually requires
adjustment and then select the paper type that
matches the loaded paper.
❏ If paper with visible curls, wrinkles, waves, folds,
or bends is used, correct adjustment may not be
possible. Remove curled, wavy, or folded sections
by cutting them off.
❏ Ensure that light from outside (direct sunlight,
etc.) does not enter the interior of the printer. If
this occurs, the printer may not be able to
correctly read the adjustment pattern. If light
enters the interior of the printer and automatic
adjustment is not possible, then carry out manual
adjustment.
U “The prints are not what you expected” on
page 193
❏ Automatic adjustment is not possible for
transparent or colored media. Use manual
adjustment.
U “The prints are not what you expected” on
page 193
❏ Results of adjustment will differ depending on the
paper type.

Paper” on page 222
Easy Adjustment
The sensor reads adjustment patterns while it is
printing, and automatically registers the optimum
adjustment value to the printer. This takes
approximately 5 minutes.
The following shows the length and number of sheets
of paper used for adjustment pattern printing.
❏ Roll paper: Approx. 344 mm
❏ Cut sheet: 1 sheet for A3+ or larger, 2 sheets for
smaller than A3+
