Solution
If printed images are affected by banding in different colors, adjust the amount that paper is fed.
Auto Band Adj. offers two modes, Standard Adj. and Advanced Adj.. Use Advanced Adj. if Standard Adj. does not eliminate banding, or when using paper other than genuine Canon paper or paper for purposes other than checking output.
Always check the Feed Priority setting before using Auto Band Adj..
NOTE
- When using highly transparent media not compatible with Auto Band Adj., you must adjust the feed amount manually.
- If additional fine-tuning is necessary after Auto Band Adj., use Fine Band Adj..
- To adjust the measurement scale and ensure accuracy (so that lines in CAD drawings are printed at exactly the right length, for example), specify the amount of paper stretching or shrinkage when adjusting the feed amount.
- This may take some time, depending on the type of paper.
- Use paper of the same type and size for adjustment as you will use for printing.
