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.577)

This adjustment is only possible when feeding paper from the Top Paper Feed Slot that can be set up with a margin on the trailing edge of 3 mm (0.12 in). If you use paper for which you cannot specify a trailing margin of 3 mm, it will be automatically ejected, and adjustment is not possible.

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.
