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.

the on-screen instructions to print the adjustment

Adjustments are made by visually checking the
pattern and specifying the optimal pattern from the
first and second adjustment sheets.

of paper used for adjustment pattern printing.
Roll paper: Approx. 420 mm
