Setting the Correction Values

Procedure
  1. View the results of the cutting test to determine the correction values.
    Check whether the crop mark (shaded part) and the cutting position are aligned. An example of the crop mark and the cutting position being misaligned is shown in the following figure.


    • If the test printed crop marks are inside the cutting line, correction is not necessary.
    • If the test printed crop marks are extending beyond the cutting line, correction is necessary.

    F indicates the feed direction of the media (the feed direction) and S indicates the direction of print-head carriage movement (the scan direction). ("F," "S," "+," "−," and the arrows are not displayed on the actual test pattern.)

    MEMO

    Determine the values so as to correct the misalignment of the cutting position. In the case of the above figure, feed direction F is misaligned in a negative direction and scan direction S in a positive direction. Therefore, set the correction values for feed direction F to positive values and scan direction S to negative values. Measure the actual misalignment amount when determining the value.

  2. Set the correction values in the feed direction of the media (the feed direction) and the direction of print-head carriage movement (the scan direction).
    1. Enter the correction value in New Value for Feed (F) Adjustment Value to set the correction value in the feed direction of the media (the feed direction).
    2. Enter the correction value in New Value for Scan (S) Adjustment Value to set the correction value in the direction of print-head carriage movement (the scan direction).
  3. Click Apply.
  4. Perform steps 5 to 7 of Performing a Cutting Test again to check whether the correction was successful.

    • If the test printed crop marks are inside the cutting line, correction is complete. Click OK to return to the original screen.

    • If the test printed crop marks are extending beyond the cutting line, redo the correction.

    MEMO
    • Default settings
      • Feed (F) Adjustment Value (correction value of the media feed direction): 0.00 mm
      • Scan (S) Adjustment Value (correction value of the print-head carriage movement direction): 0.00 mm
    MEMO You can also make corrections of printing and cutting positions at the same time without removing the media.
