Use Auto(Standard) if you have switched to another type of paper or if you want the boundaries between colors to
appear as clear as possible.
•
Use Auto(Advanced) to fi ne-tune the space between nozzles or colors if you have switched the printhead or if
clearer printing is required. We recommend Auto(Advanced) for printing at the highest level of quality.
•
We recommend using the type of paper you use most often for adjustment.•
Auto(Expansion) may be unavailable in some cases, even if it is displayed in the menu.•
If so, execute Auto(Advanced) once.
If vertical lines in printed documents are warped or colors are out of alignment, execute Head Posi. Adj. . The
printer will print and read a test pattern, and the Printhead position will be adjusted automatically.
If Vertical Lines are Warped or Colors
are Misaligned
This section describes how to perform automatic adjustment of the printhead to
straighten lines and colors.
There are three modes for automatic Printhead adjustment: Auto(Standard) , Auto(Advanced) and
Auto(Expansion) .
Auto(Standard) •
Fixes slight distortion and color misalignment.
Auto(Advanced) •
Try adjustment in this mode if Auto(Standard) does not improve printing.

option High-Precision Photographs or High-Precision Text and Fine Lines is selected.
