Minimizing Print Misalignments
(Head Alignment)
Because there is a small distance between the print head
and paper, misalignment may occur due to humidity or
temperature, the inertial force of the print head's
movements, or by moving the print head
bidirectionally. This may result in grainy prints or lines
that are incorrectly placed. When this happens, perform
Head Alignment to correct the print misalignment.
For head alignment, you need to check the pattern and
enter the optimum adjustment value for alignment.
Head Alignment can perform the following two types of
adjustments.
For bidirectional printing
Select Manual(Bi-D). If the graininess or misalignment
is not improved after performing Manual(Bi-D),
perform Manual(Uni-D).
For unidirectional printing
Perform Manual(Uni-D).
