How to Use EPSON LFP Remote Panel / Media Adjustment

Auto Adjustment Dialog Box

Ink dot size

Click the Auto Adjustment button in the Media Adjustment dialog box to display the 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.

Note:

Utilities available from the Auto Adjustment dialog box are used only for coated media. If you want to use the media you cannot select as Media Type in the Auto Adjustment dialog box, go to Bidirectional Alignment Dialog Box or Unidirectional Alignment Dialog Box to perform manual alignment.

If you are not satisfied with the adjustment, go to Bidirectional Alignment Dialog Box or Unidirectional Alignment Dialog Box to perform alignment manually.

To go to another dialog box, select the dialog box from the drop-down list box in the top right area.

Auto Bidirectional Alignment

Note:

Auto Bidirectional Alignment requires a maximum of about 6 to 7.3 minutes if each # parameter is adjusted individually, or a maximum of about 16.5 minutes if all # parameters are adjusted at once.

Select the Media Type. If you use non-Epson special media, select Other.

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.

Note:

Setting Platen Gap to Narrow may produce better print quality, but make sure that the media does not wrinkle or touch the print head. Otherwise, the printed document or the print head surface may be damaged. Use Standard or Wide in such case.

If you selected Other for Media Type, Platen Gap is disabled until the Paper Thickness is set.

The following table shows which Platen Gap option is available for the paper thickness.

Select an ink dot size from #1 to #3 depending on the media you use and the print quality you want to try. See Ink dot size to find out which parameter is available for the media and print quality.

Note:

If you use non-Epson special media, we recommend that you select all check boxes from #1 to #3 to align all dot sizes.

Select the check box on the left to your selected number, from #1 to #3.

Click Start to perform automatic Bidirectional Alignment.

Auto 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.

Auto Unidirectional Alignment requires a maximum of about 4.5 minutes if each # parameter is adjusted individually, or a maximum of about 15.5 minutes if all # parameters are adjusted at once.
