Manual Banding Adjustment (Adj. Quality) (iPF6400S/iPF8400S)

Content Id: 8201962700

Solution

If printed images are affected by banding in different colors, execute Adj. Quality for adjustment of the paper feed amount.

Use Manual adjustment with highly transparent media or other paper for which Auto(GenuinePpr) or Auto(OtherPaper) cannot be used.

(See "Automatic Banding Adjustment (Adj. Quality) (iPF6400S/iPF8400S)")

Manual adjustment requires you to enter an adjustment value after a test pattern is printed.

Caution

We recommend executing the adjustment if you have changed the paper type or paper size.

Always check the Adj. Priority values before using Manual adjustment.

(See "Selecting a Feed Amount Adjustment Method (Feed Priority) (iPF6400S/iPF8400S)")

If additional fine-tuning is necessary after Manual adjustment, use Adj. Fine Feed

(See "Fine-Tuning the Paper Feed Amount (Adj. Fine Feed) (iPF6400S/iPF8400S)")

Use Adjust Length to ensure that lines in CAD drawings are printed at exactly the right length.

(See "Adjusting Line Length (Adjust Length) (iPF6400S/iPF8400S)")
