How to Use EPSON LFP Remote Panel / Media Adjustment
Bidirectional Alignment Dialog Box
Click the Bidirectional Alignment button in the Media Adjustment dialog box to display the Bidirectional Alignment dialog box.
If you find vertical misalignment on the printed data, you may be able to solve these problems by using this utility to align the print head and then the Unidirectional Alignment utility.
Bidirectional Alignment fixes misaligned vertical lines caused by bidirectional printing and achieves very precise alignment of all colors.

The screens that appear in this manual may differ according to your printer model.

To go to another dialog box, select the dialog box from the drop-down list box in the top right area.
|
|
 |
Select the media type from the Media Type list box. If you use non-Epson special media, select Other.
|
| |
Note:
|
| | |
If your printer is set to the four colors ink combination, the printer will be in four color mode and the screen above shows only four colors.
|
|
 |
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 a value 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 a thickness from 0.1 to 1.5 mm.
|
|
 |
Select 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. The corresponding row will be enabled.
|
 |
Click Print to print an alignment sheet.
|
 |
Look at the alignment sheet. There are two patterns: line and block. For the line pattern, find the vertical straight line. For the block pattern, find the block formed by four blocks connected with the smallest gap and overlapping.
|
| |
Note:
|
| | |
The alignment sheet is different depending on your printer model.
|
|
 |
Enter the number of each aligned pattern in the corresponding boxes.
|
If you cannot find a properly aligned pattern, enter the number of the pattern that is closest to being aligned for that box.
 |
Repeat the steps 7 and 8 for all colors.
|
 |
Click the Save button. If an on-line error message appears, select STANDARD for the platen gap setting from the control panel of the printer. For the control panel operation, refer to the Reference Guide of the printer.
