Solution

To ensure that lines in CAD drawings are printed at exactly the right length, use Adjust Length to adjust the amount that paper is advanced.

There are two options in Adjust Length : AdjustmentPrint and Change Settings.

AdjustmentPrint

After a test pattern is printed, you will measure the discrepancy based on the results of printing.

Change Settings

No test pattern is printed. Instead, you will measure a document already printed to determine the discrepancy.

Additionally, two modes are available in both AdjustmentPrint and Change Settings : A:High or B:Standard/Draft. Choose the mode that suits your particular printing application.

A:High

This setting is applied when Highest quality or High is selected in Print Quality in the printer driver.

B:Standard/Draft

This setting is applied when Standard or Fast is selected in Print Quality in the printer driver.

NOTE

We recommend executing the adjustment if you have changed the paper type or paper size.
Always check the Adj. Priority values before using Adjust Length.
