2 Basic Operation

Making Corrections for Printing

Feed Correction

This corrects for errors in the amount of feed of the grit rollers due the type of material. Be sure to make this setting when you have replaced the material with a different type.

Correcting the amount of feed improves the dot-positioning accuracy in the feed direction, which can help enhance image quality.

When performing test printing for feed correction, load the material correctly (see "2-4 Loading the Material"). If the material is not loaded correctly, an accurate correction value may not be output.
