Adjustments to the Position of the Output Image
Make the following adjustments to the position of the output image:
• Registration:
• Lead Registration: To adjust the lead edge of the image for side 1 or side 2 registration, use this feature.
• Side Registration: To adjust the side edge of the image for side 1 or side 2 registration, use this feature.
• Perpendicularity: When the image is straight on the page, but the corners are slanted, not at right, or 90 degrees, angles to each other, use this adjustment. This feature adjusts the image digitally on the drum until it aligns with the paper for both side 1 and side 2.
• Skew: When the entire image on the page is slanted and not straight, use this adjustment. This feature adjusts the paper so that the image for side 1 or side 2 are not skewed, but are aligned with each other.
• Magnification: To correct for image stretch from side 1 to side 2, use this feature. The image can be enlarged or reduced as necessary.
Tip:
Preferably, choose only one Alignment profile feature, such as skew. Then, to evaluate the skew on that output, run a set of test prints. If you want to adjust multiple Alignment profile features, to evaluate the skew on that output, individually select each feature, run some test prints for that feature, and evaluate the output. After you determine that the output for the selected feature is acceptable, you can select another alignment profile feature to adjust.
