  1. Print out the test pattern (14: Trimmed area) with SP2-109-003.

  2. Do the leading edge registration [A] adjustment.
    1) Check the leading edge registration and adjust it with SP1-001.
    2) Select the adjustment conditions (paper type and process line speed).
    3) Input the value. Then press the [#] key. 
  3. After the leading edge registration adjustment, print out the new test pattern.
  4. Do the side-to-side registration [B] adjustment.

    1) Check the side-to-side registration and adjust it with SP1-002.

    2) Select the adjustment conditions (paper feed station).

    3) Input the value. Then press the  [#] key.

    4) Generate a trim pattern to check the leading edge adjustment.

Erase Margin Adjustment

  • Adjust the erase margin C and D only if the registration (main scan and sub-scan) cannot be adjusted within the standard values.
