Select MW print quality adjustment. NOTE 1: Paper setting can be made independently for any paper number. 2: For details of patterns, refer to "Print paper thickness detection pattern (p. 58)". Paper setting and corresponding operation are as follows. Paper setup Standard 1 ~ 10 Table 1-39. Operation When settings of cutting pressure ~ print quality are set with commands, it follows the settings. User definition paper. Even when cutting pressure ~ print quality are set with commands, user setting value is used. Details of each setting item are following; Table 1-40. Setting Operation Paper thickness Print paper thickness detection pattern and enter the paper thickness number. (When "STD" is selected, it is not executed.) *1 Cutting pressure Paper cutting pressure is set. Lower the pressure for thin and soft paper. Manufacture setting value (75%) is displayed as 100%, which is the maximum setting value to be assured. Setting available range is 110%~0%.

When quality has priority, raise the setting value.*2 Note 1: When "STD" is selected for Paper selection, Paper thickness detection pattern print, Paper thickness number selection, Paper feeding adjustment setting items are not displayed. Only when Paper "1" ~ "10" is selected, they are displayed. 2: During pattern printing, "PRINTING ALGNMNT PATTERN" is displayed. ( is new line) 3: Default display of paper thickness number selection is the number same as gap adjustment. Note *1: See "MW Printing Adjustment / Setting Values and Printing Modes (p.88)" for selectable MW mode at MW print adjustment. *2: It prints with PG small or PG big depending on detection result of paper thickness sensor.
