    A test pattern to adjust paper feed is printed.

    When horizontal lines beside the lightest gray square are broken, select the optimal adjustment value by referring to the lines broken in the opposite direction. When the “plus2” square is the lightest gray square and the “plus6” horizontal lines are broken in the opposite direction, the optimal adjustment value is between “plus3” and “plus5”. After adjustment, check the adjustment result.
