Description
The bidirectional-printing mode (in which the heads perform printing during both their outbound pass and return pass)
offers the advantage of being fast, but subtle misalignment occurs between the outbound and return passes. The
procedure to correct this and eliminate misalignment is bidirectional correction. This misalignment varies according
to the head height and the thickness of the media, so we recommend performing correction to match the media you're
using.
