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. Measure the size of the printed output.
  2. Use one of the methods below to open the Job Settings window.

    The input value is calculated automatically and displayed 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.
