Correcting the Dimensions in the Printing Results

Print data and printing size may change due to factors such as thermal expansion of the media after printing. In this case, you can correct a shifted printing result by correcting the horizontal and vertical sizes of the job dimensions.

If you enter the measured sizes (the actual print size) and the expected sizes (the size to be printed), the correction factors can be automatically calculated and easily set. You can also enter the correction factors directly.

Depending on the model you are using, this setting may be disabled.

Procedure
  1. Check the size of the job and measure the size of the printed output.
  2. In the job list, double-click the job.
    The Job Settings window appears.
  3. Click .
  4. Click Print Size Correction - Correction Calculator.
    The Correction Calculator window appears.
  5. In Expected Size and Measured Size, enter the sizes in the horizontal and vertical directions.
    • Expected Size: Enter the size to be printed.
    • Measured Size: Enter the measured size of the printing result.
    This is automatically calculated on the basis of the values entered in Correction Factor. However, the correction factors can be set within a range of −5.00% to +5.00%.
  6. Click OK.
    The Correction Calculator window closes. Verify that the correction factor is reflected in the horizontal and vertical values.
  7. Click OK.
    MEMO
    • You can also enter the correction factors directly.
    • You can also configure the same setting in the Queue Properties window. To apply the correction to an existing job after configuring settings, select the job and click 1_2_2_4_clear_a.
