Adjusting the feed amount

Adjusting Color on the Trailing Edge of Sheets

If printed sheets are affected by banding in different colors toward the end of the sheet (about 20-30 mm from the edge), try adjusting the feed amount of the trailing edge of sheets.

Note

If printed documents (including documents printed on rolls) are affected by banding in different colors not only toward the end of the sheet but throughout the printed area, try adjusting the overall feed amount. (→P.604)

This adjustment is only possible when feeding paper from the Cassette or Top Paper Feed Slot that can be set up with a margin on the trailing edge of 3 mm (0.12 in).

1.Load a sheet of unused paper A4/Letter-sized or larger.

Note

Always make sure the loaded paper matches the media type setting on the printer. Adjustment cannot be completed correctly unless the setting value matches the loaded paper.

We recommend using the type of paper you use most often for adjustment.

2.Press the Menu button to display MAIN MENU.

3. Press or to select Adjust Printer, and then press the button.

4. Press or to select Adj Far Ed Feed, and then press the button.

5. Press or to select Yes, and then press the OK button. A test pattern is printed for adjustment.

C1 is displayed on the Control Panel.

Note

When the cassette is selected as the paper source, choose the type and size of paper.
