Suggested Solutions
Note
An automatic adjustment fixes most image quality issues. Always perform the Auto
procedure before performing the Manual adjustment.
- Auto: The adjustment is done automatically by the press. It eliminates the need
for you to interpret printed targets, and manually enter adjustment values. This
saves time and avoids errors.
- Manual: The user must manually perform the adjustment, including printing test
patterns, interpreting the printed targets on those patterns, and then manually
entering the adjustment values.
Tip
Use the Manual adjustment option only when the Auto adjustment does not
provide the desired output.
- For detailed information and instructions on using the Auto and Manual adjustment
options, refer to Stock Library Manager Help for “Advanced Stock Setup Feature,”
“Secondary Transfer Voltage Adjustment Overview.”.
2. If the issue is observed on the tail edge of the printed output and is not corrected by per-
forming a Secondary Transfer Voltage Adjustment, change the Transfer Output Adjust-
ment for Trail Edge setting.
• Use this feature to adjust the voltage ratio on the secondary bias transfer roll (2
nd
BTR);
this is where the image is transferred from the belt to the paper.
• This feature is accessed from Stock Library Manager > Stock Properties > Advanced
Stock Setup > Transfer Output Adjustment for Trail Edge.
• Decrease the Transfer Output Adjustment for Trail Edge in increments of 10%. After
every incremental adjustment, run test prints and evaluate the output to determine if
additional adjustment is necessary.
3. Perform an Automatic Density Uniformity Adjustment.
Note
This is a press feature and is not a Stock Library Manager feature.
• Use this feature to correct image quality issues on the output when that image quality
is not consistent throughout the entire output. For example, the image quality is lighter
(faded) or heavier (thicker) on the left or right sides of the output (inboard / outboard).
• For information and instructions on how to use this feature, refer to Adjusting Automatic
Density Uniformity.

Suggested Solutions
1. If using trays 1, 2, or 3, try switching to tray 6 or 7 or optional tray 8 or 9 (if available).
Note
Trays 6-9 have better registration and skew performance.
