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].
After a test pattern is printed, you will measure the discrepancy based on the results of printing.
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.
This setting is applied when [Highest quality] or [High] is selected in [Print Quality] in the printer driver.
This setting is applied when [Standard] or [Fast] is selected in [Print Quality] in the printer driver.
NOTE
- Always check the [Adj. Priority] values before using [Adjust Length].
- Use paper of the same type and size for adjustment as you will use for printing.
