Auto Adjustment Dialog Box
You can perform automatic Nozzle Check and Head Cleaning, Bidirectional Alignment, or Unidirectional Alignment for coated media in this dialog box.
Click the Auto Adjustment button in the Media Adjustment dialog box to display the Auto Adjustment dialog box.
 Note:
Setting items in the dialog box will be different according to the printer selected.
|
 Note:
Utilities available from the Auto Adjustment dialog box are used only for coated media.
If you want to use a media which you cannot select as Media Type in the Auto Adjustment dialog box, go to Bidirectional Alignment Dialog Box to perform manual alignment.
If you use coated media other than Epson special media, select Other from the Media Type, then set Paper Thickness and Platen Gap thus making Auto Adjustment available. Note: Depending on your printer model, you cannot select Other from the Media Type.
To go to another dialog box, select the dialog box from the list in the top right area.
|
Auto Bidirectional/Unidirectional Alignment
Fix misaligned vertical lines caused by bidirectional or unidirectional printing and achieve very precise alignment for each color. To obtain a precise printing result, please apply both Auto Bidirectional and Unidirectional Alignment.
 Note:
Perform Bidirectional Alignment before Unidirectional Alignment to determine the position of black correctly. Its position is used as standard for the positions of the other colors.
|
 |
Select the media type from the Media Type list. If you use non-Epson special media, select Other.
|
 Note:
Depending on your printer model, you cannot select Other from the Media Type.
|
Select the media type which same as printing actually. If media types are gray out in the list, it cannot select due to disable with paper source of the printer.
 |
Set the Paper Thickness.
|
If you selected Epson special media, the value appears automatically.
If you selected Other (non-Epson special media) for Media Type, type the value of the media from 1 to 15 in the Paper Thickness text box. For paper thickness information, see the specifications or contact the dealer for the media.
 Note:
The units for the value are 0.1 mm. Therefore; you can specify the thickness from 0.1 to 1.5 mm.
|
 |
Set the Platen Gap. Platen Gap is the height from the media loaded in the printer to the print head. By adjusting this parameter, you may produce better print quality.
|
When Epson special media is selected, Auto is specified for Platen Gap. Normally select Auto. If there is any problem in the printing quality, specify a value from the pull-down menu, which displays the list.
If you selected Other for Media Type, Platen Gap is disabled until the Paper Thickness is set.

For Windows users
For Mac OS X users
Auto Nozzle Check and Head Cleaning
Check whether the print head nozzles are clogged. If necessary, automatic Head Cleaning will be started.
 Note:
Head cleaning uses all colors of ink to clean each head, and will consume much ink and require several minutes to finish. When the print heads are extremely clogged, it may require much longer than several minutes. Thus, we recommend you perform head cleaning only when the print quality has decreased. Head cleaning with tracing paper is not available.
|
 |
Click Start to perform an automatic Nozzle Check.
|
 |
When an auto cleaning is finished, click OK in the screen that appears.
|
 Note:
If the print head nozzles are still clogging after the auto cleaning, try Power Cleaning.
