Automatic Adjustment to Straighten Lines and Colors
If printed vertical lines are warped or colors are out of alignment, execute Head Posi. Adj. to adjust the Printhead
alignment.
There are two modes for automatic Printhead adjustment: Auto(Standard) and Auto(Advanced).
Auto(Standard) will fix most slight image distortion or color misalignment, but if not, try Auto(Advanced).
Use Auto(Standard) or Auto(Advanced) to have the printer print and read a test pattern for automatic adjustment of
the Printhead.
Important
• This function is not available with Tracing Paper, Translucent Matte Film, or Clear Film.
• If adjustment is not possible as expected using special media, try another type of paper, or try Manual adjustment.
