Enhancing Printing Quality
With some types of paper and under some conditions, adjusting the printer as follows with the paper to be used can
enhance printing quality when printing fine lines/text or photos.
Two adjustment options are available: standard adjustment (with the Printhead height set to
Automatic
) and supple-
mental adjustment (used if standard adjustment is not effective).
Important
•
Ideal temperature and humidity during adjustment and for printing in general when the Printhead height is set to
Automatic
are 20–30ºC and 30–60%. Under other environmental conditions, adjustment may not enhance printing quality.
Standard Adjustment
Perform standard adjustment with the Printhead height set to
Automatic
.

Supplemental Adjustment
Perform supplemental adjustment with the Printhead height set to
Super Low
.
Important
•
Printing with
Head Height
set to
Super Low
may enhance printing quality, but it may also cause paper to rub against or
become caught on the Printhead, which may cause paper jams or soiling on printed documents.
Note
•
We recommend that additional adjustment be executed using paper matching the following criteria.
Type: Glossy or semi-glossy photo paper, or proofing paper (in either case, roll paper only)
Thickness/weight: 300 μm or less, or 300 g/m² or less
Width: 420.0 mm (16.54 in.) or more
