Pr.Test Pattern     

A test pattern to adjust paper feed is printed.

5Check the optimal adjustment values on the printed test pattern.

The procedure is explained using the SG 2100N/SG 3110DN/SG 3110DNw as an example.

The optimal adjustment value is the number that appears on the left of the lightest gray square with straight horizontal lines on both sides. When this number is "+2", the optimal adjustment value is "+2".

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 "+2" square is the lightest gray square and the "+6" horizontal lines are broken in the opposite direction, the optimal adjustment value is between "+3" and "+5". After adjustment, check the adjustment result.
