4-9 AUTO THERMAL HEAD DENSITY ADJUSTMENT
THERMAL HEAD DENSITY ADJUSTMENT is designed to ensure the printing quality by adjusting thedensity in 1 BAND.THERMAL HEAD is consist of 240 dots. (192 dots are used for printing.)However, there is slight difference in quantity of consumption on each dots and appears as blurry printing.This adjustment is to even the density in 1 BAND by deviding the HEAD into 30 groups (8 dots in 1group), and setting the heating time of each group one by one.
There are 2 ways of performing this adjustment.1. AUTO ADJUSTMENT2. MANUAL ADJUSTMENT
AUTO ADJUSTMENT can be done by sending the HEAD data file [???-????.TEI] for each HEAD usingspecial software [PC60SPF.EXE].Spare HEAD will be supplied with the data file and the software.
MANUAL ADJUSTMENT can also be done by setting 30 parameters manually from the panel.
This adjustment must be performed after replacement of HEAD CARRIAGE and MAIN BOARD.It is necessary to enter THERMAL HEAD DENSITY ADJUSTMENT MODE in the FACTORY MODE toperform this adjustment.

GRIT ECCENTRICITY ADJUSTMENT SHOULDN'T BE PERFORMED FOR ORDINARYSERVICE.This adjustment is designed to ensure the printing quality by calibrating the eccentric amount of the GRITROLLER. GRIT ROLLER is eccentric due to the manufacturing tolerance.Sometimes, the eccentricity of GRIT ROLLER could cause dark BANDING or WHITE LINE betweenBANDs.When printing is effected by the eccentricity of GRIT ROLLER, GAP and BANDING appear in every 8BAND in a cycle.For example, if there is BANDING in between 1st and 2nd BAND, there will be GAP between 9th and10th BAND.However, the adjustment procedure has not been established perfectly, yet,and also, BANDING and WHITE LINE are caused more by other reasons.Therefore, this procedure is tentative and should be followed only whenBANDING or WHITE LINE is caused by the eccenctricity of the GRITROLLER.

RIBBON ECONOMY MODERibbon Economy Mode is explained by explaining the way of printing CYAN part of the following figure.Normally, HEAD will be in DOWN position and the RIBBON will be winded from the beginning to the end of 1BAND.When selecting Ribbon Economy Mode, CYAN RIBBON won't be winded at the right margin of MAGENTA part,and the HEAD will be DOWN only at the CYAN part for printing. However, ribbon will be winded at the left part ofMAGENTA part.
ROLAND DG CORPORATION does not guarantee the quality of the printing using the RibbonEconomy Mode.The starting point of the printing could be shifted in each BAND.

How to Correct Line Pitch
1. Hold down the [BASE POINT] key on the panel while you turn the POWER key (sub power) on.
2. Pressing the [ ] and [ ] keys changes the displayed [CARTRIDGE HOLDER] LEDs.
3. Referring to the table below, use the [ ] and [ ] keys to determine the amount of offset between line.(Offset can only be used for narrow line pitch than the default value, which is no offset.)
Following table describes the procedure to adjust the LINE SPACING for users.
* Distance accuracy cannot be guaranteed when line-pitch correction has been performed.
