Media advance calibration print Select MEDIA ADV PRINT to print a calibration pattern that w ill indicate optimal media advance values. Two patterns are available: the ROUGH pattern prints a media advance pattern in 0.25% steps between 99.0 and 101.0 %; the DETAIL pattern prints a media advance patt ern in 0.10% steps starting from the current setting ±0.20%. Use the ROUGH pattern to obtain your initial values and if greater accuracy is required, use the DETAIL pattern. The print mode selected will also affect media advance calibration patterns. Press the CANCEL key to interrupt printing.
