Alignment Adjustment Settings
This section describes adjusting the position of the printout image. You can adjust the
image to print on the paper (image position, scale, and skew), and set the adjustment
value to any of 20 types. You can assign the set type to a custom paper and a tray.
Make adjustments when the position of the printout image is misaligned as a result of
paper expansion or contraction, cutting accuracy, or paper storage conditions. Adjust
the position of the printout image with the alignment adjustment settings.
Alignment Adjustment
You can make the following adjustments to the position of printout images on the
machine.
Skew Adjustment
Adjust a skewed image.
Perpendicularity (Rhombic Distortion) Adjustment
Adjust the distortion of an image.
Scale Adjustment
Adjust this when the size (scale) of the printout image is offset.
Print Position Adjustment
Adjust the position of the image in the paper feed direction (X direction) and the vertical
direction in relation to the paper feed direction (Y direction). Adjust this when, for
instance, the images on sides 1 and 2 are misaligned.
When adjusting multiple items, adjust them in the following order: Skew Adjustment >
Perpendicularity Adjustment > Scale Adjustment > Print Position Adjustment.
The following is an outline of the procedure for alignment adjustment.
1) Load paper in a tray.
2) Print a sample printout and check for misalignment of the printout image.
