CHAPTER 5: PREPARATIONS BEFORE PRINTING

AP-77150 – Rev. 2.0

5.2.2 How to determine and change the step

Step 1 : Power ON the printer.

Step 2 : Load the media to print on.

Notes

BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE MEDIA TO THE WINDER 100 BEFORE SETTING THE STEP. THIS BECAUSE THE STEP WILL BE

DIFFERENT WHEN PRINTING ROLL-TO-SHEET THAN WHEN PRINTING ROLL-TO-ROLL.

Step 3 : Perform a NozzleCheck to be sure all nozzles are present. If not, perform the necessary

cleanings.

Step 4 : Set the step to 100.00%

Step 5 : Print the test pattern. (SetupMenu 1/7 > TestPrint [F3] > Dist.Check [F2])

Step 6 : To evaluate the print, you should look for gaps or overlaps between the different passes (1-4).

The direction of the adjustment (increase or decrease the step adjust value) is the easiest to

check in the X-rows. To check the quality, the Y rows should be the standard.
