Abstract
A method for adjustment of a printing apparatus, includes the steps of: (i) receiving an instruction from a user via a user interface; (ii) forming a plurality of patterns on a medium using an ink ejecting section that ejects ink onto the medium, each of the patterns being a pattern for adjusting a different object; (iii) detecting each of the patterns with a sensor; and (iv) adjusting each of the plurality of objects based on a result of detecting each of the patterns. With this adjustment method, if the image quality of the printed image has dropped, even a user who is not well versed in an inkjet printer's functionality can achieve an appropriate image quality improvement.
