Adjusting the Feed Amount Automatically

If printed images are af fected by banding in dif ferent colors, adjust the amount that paper is fed. There are
two modes for adjusting the amount paper is fed, Standard Adj. and Advanced Adj. Use Advanced
Adj. if Standard Adj. does not eliminate streaks, or when using paper other than genuine Canon paper or
paper for purposes other than checking output. When using highly transparent media not compatible with
automatic adjustment, you must adjust the feed amount manually . For instructions on manual adjustment, see
“Adjusting the Feed Amount Manually”. (→P .657)
Note
•T o adjust the measurement scale and ensure accuracy (so that lines in CAD drawings are printed
at exactly the right length, for example), specify the amount of paper stretching or shrinkage when
adjusting the feed amount. ( → P .661)
•This may take some time, depending on the type of paper .
Important
•Use paper of the same type and size for adjustment as you will use for printing.
•T o apply the results of adjusting the feed amount in printing, you must rst set Feed Priority to Band
Joint . Note that if you select Automatic , the results of adjustment will only be applied in printing if you
set Print Priority in the printer driver to Image or Ofce Document . ( → P .241)
