Note: The printer will display Printer Calibrating while this test is running. Three alignment pages will

Cyan, Yellow, Magenta
These menu items allow you to adjust the X, Y, and Theta values for each color. Each increment of the X (Top
Margin Offset) is equal to1 / 600th of an inch. The Y and Theta values increment in 1 / 3600th of an inch.
Y (Cyan, Yellow, Magenta)
Modification of this setting allows users to shift right or left the position of the left margin on a per plane basis.
Each increment corresponds to 1/6th of a pel at 600 dpi. A positive offset moves the margin to the right, and a
negative offset moves the margin to the left.
Note: Modification of this setting causes the entire image to compress or expand.
Theta Offset (Cyan, Yellow, Magenta)
Modification of this setting allows users to shift right or left the position of the right margin on a per plane basis.
The right margin adjustment is necessary to offset any vertical printhead placement error with respect to the PC
drum. Each increment corresponds to an approximate shift of 1/6th of a pel at 600 dpi. A positive offset moves
the margin to the left and a negative offset moves the margin to the right.
Modification of the right margin offset setting causes the entire image to move left/right on the page.
