(b)Correction of color shift in the main scan direction
• If the image of each color (Y, M, C) is misaligned with respect to the image of black (K) in the main scan direction, changing the write
start timing in the main scan direction can correct the color shift. Color shift correction needs to be performed separately for the
respective colors (Y, M, C).
• Color shift correction control is activated when the image stabilization sequence is started.
* When the image of magenta is misaligned with respect to the image of black (K)

(c)Correction of color shift in the sub scan direction
• If the image of each color (Y, M, C) is misaligned with respect to the image of black (K) in the sub scan direction, changing the write
start timing in the sub scan direction can correct the color shift. Color shift correction needs to be performed separately for the
respective colors (Y, M, C).
• Color shift correction control is activated when the image stabilization sequence is started.
