4. Set 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 (red line) 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 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 the feed direction F to positive values and the 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 movement (the scan direction).
    1. Tap AP-640_Panel_Icon_MINUS or AP-640_Panel_Icon_PLUS next to Correction Value (Feed) to set the correction value in the feed direction of the media (the feed direction).
    2. Tap AP-640_Panel_Icon_MINUS or AP-640_Panel_Icon_PLUS next to Correction Value (Scan) to set the correction value in the direction of print head movement (the scan direction).
  3. Tap Save.
  4. Perform steps 5 to 7 of 3. Perform 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.

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

  5. Tap AP-640_Panel_Icon_HOME to go back to the original screen.
    MEMO
    • Default settings
      • Correction Value (Feed) (correction value of the media feed direction): 0.00 mm
      • Correction Value (Scan) (correction value of the print head movement direction): 0.00 mm
    • You can also make corrections of printing and cutting positions at the same time without removing the media.
