Operations Instruction Osprey 75/102/130

AP-75720, Rev. 2.0 70

5.3 SET THE CORRECT DISTANCE ADJUST (STEP)

Be sure to read and understand the safety warnings before handling the printer.

Obtaining constant printing quality on an Osprey is not only determined by the working environment, the RIP,

the profiles, the inks and the media which are used. One of the key factors for obtaining constant output quality

is the correct distance adjustment, also called step.

5.3.1 Basics about the step

Every image is printed in several print passes. After every pass, the media is fed an amount of millimetres.

When the step is not set correctly the passes will overlap each other or will not be printed precisely next to each

other which results in white bands between two print passes.

Therefore a function, distance adjust (or step), is added to the menu to control this feed operation.

Refer to the table below for visual support.

The passes overlap each other

►Step between the print passes is too small

The passes are printed too far from each other

►Step between the print passes is too large

Procedure:

Notes

• It is recommended to start printing with a step of 100.00% and to adjust it afterwards. Once a step is

set for a particular media it will not change on following conditions:

o The step is only applicable on the printer in question and not interchangeable.

o The media manufacturer does not change any specifications of the media.

Step 1: Go to the ‘Media feed compensation’ menu on the operation panel by following "Menu setup on the

operation panel". See image below.

• The ‘Media feed compensation’ menu is named ‘DistAdj.’ menu on the operation panel.

• Refer to: “Printing by Media feed compensation menu” for more details about all the functions in the ‘Media

feed compensation’ menu.
