Adj.) iPF760 Adjustments for Better Print Quality Adjusting the Printhead Automatic Adjustment to Straighten Lines and Colors (Head Posi. Adj.) If printed vertical lines are warped or colors are out of alignment, execute Head Posi. Adj. to adjust the Printhead alignment. There are two modes for automatic Printhead adjustment: Auto(Standard) and Auto(Advanced). Auto(Standard) will fix most slight image distortion or color misalignment, but if not, try Auto(Advanced). Use Auto(Standard) or Auto(Advanced) to have the printer print and read a test pattern for automatic adjustment of the Printhead. Adjustments for Better Print Quality Adjusting the Printhead • Always make sure the loaded paper matches the type of paper specified on the printer. Adjustment cannot be comple- ted correctly unless the loaded paper matches the settings. Important • This function is not available with CAD Tracing Paper, CAD Translucent Matte Film, or CAD Clear Film. If adjustment is not possible as expected using highly transparent film or similar media, try another type of paper, or try Manual adjustment.

Note (See "Manual Straightening of Lines and Colors (Head Posi.
