8.13 Bad Leading Edge Registration
8.13 Bad Leading Edge Registration
The registration is factory set and should require no adjustment
in the field. Use the following procedure to verify correct
registration:
1. Use the following procedure to measure the leading edge
registration:
a. Print one sheet of the Engine Test print, as shown in
Section 5.4.
b. Use a metric ruler to measure the distance between the
leading edge of the paper and the start of the vertical
bars.
c. The image is positioned correctly if the distance measured
above is 3.6 mm. Adjusting VR201 can shift the image
±2.40 mm.
If the alignment is slightly off and all components of the
printer are in good shape, try adjusting VR201 on the DC
control board to correct the error.
2. The cassette or tray may be overloaded with paper.
3. If an incorrect type of paper is being used, try some different
paper.
4. Swap the paper feed and pickup sensor assembly.
5. Swap the DC control board.
