Both Sides Adjust: Adjusting the Horizontal/Vertical Magnification
If there is misalignment on the front/back side, or if the magnification is not as desired, you can specify your desired print magnification.
As an example, how to adjust an unwanted 1% vertical extension (in the X-Y direction) of the print image on the back side is explained below.
• Meaning and Purpose of Horizontal/Vertical Magnification Adjustment
When the print position on the front/back side of a print is misaligned or when the magnification is not as desired, this function allows you to reduce or enlarge the whole print area by specifying the horizontal/vertical magnification.
