Setting and Adjustment of ARMS
This section describes the necessary adjustment and settings to correctly scan the registration mark with ARMS.
• Automatically adjust the registration mark sensor level
• Manually adjust the registration mark sensor level
• Test the registration mark sensor
• Adjust for the registration mark scan position
• Set the registration mark automatic detection
• Set speed of the registration mark scan
Automatically adjust the registration mark sensor level
Automatically adjusts the sensor level that scans the registration marks (threshold value for distinguishing between
the background color of the media and the registration mark line).
The sensor is adjusted to scan the registration mark plotted with a black line on a white background. Readjust the
sensor scanning level depending on the color and gloss of the media.
If automatic adjustment is difficult due to the surface properties of the media, manually set the sensor scanning
level.
