This is a case in which there is a shift in the sub-scan direction at the trailing edge of the paper. The
following diagram shows “C”, “M” or “Y” lines farther away from the leading edge than “K” lines.
3. Pattern 3
This is a case in which a color registration error is found in the main-scan direction and size of the
error is the same at the left, center and right.
4. Pattern 4
This is a case in which a color registration error is found in the main-scan direction and the size of
the error is different at the left, center and right. For “M”, the largest error will be at the right,
followed by the center and then the left. For “C” or “Y”, the order will be reversed. This is because
the writing direction of the laser beam for “K” and “M” is different from “C” and “Y”.
