2. DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION
Outline of color registration correction
The color registration is corrected by reading correction patterns that are printed on the belt
with the color registration sensors located inside the sensor shutter under the belt unit. These
sensors are used to detect and correct color registration.
Automatic start timing of color registration correction
• A
t power-on
• When the cover is closed after it is opened for five seconds or more
• When 400 pages or more have been printed after the previous correction
A correction error may be issued due to an inadequate toner amount of the pattern
generated, a sensor stained with toner, deficient opening/closing of the shutter, or for other
reasons. However, even if an error is issued, it is not indicated on the operator panel.
Therefore, forcible color registration correction will have to be performed in the self-diagnostic
mode (section 5.3.2.6) to check the error indication.
