2013-03-12 Head Aligment Line Pattern Added

This document provides information about a new "Line Pattern" option added for print head alignment on Epson SureColor S series models. The Line Pattern can be accessed through the control panel menu and is intended for manual uni-directional, bi-directional, or dual-head alignment in low resolution modes. It uses middle-sized dots compared to the existing Block Pattern, which may provide better vertical line alignment when prints have low dot densities or heavy vertical lines. Proper media setup is recommended before performing head alignment. The first firmware versions containing the Line Pattern feature are also specified.

different as well.. Example : At first, customer adjusts #4 by Block Pattern, then after, customer prints Line
Pattern, #4 should NOT be straight. In our example, the customer will choose alignment line #5.

media should be flat on platen, with heater adjusted to “Low” temperature and paper suction Lv adjusted
to “High”.
