Paper Registration Adjustment
Use the Paper Registration Adjustment feature when running
duplex jobs to adjust the image position if the registration is not
correct.
Image adjustment may be necessary for a couple of reasons:
•
Paper is not always the exact same size. It may vary slightly,
with differences of plus or minus 1mm, causing the image to
be misregistered. To reduce the possibility of size differences,
it is recommend that you use paper from the same lot when
running duplex jobs.
•
During the fusing process, the heat and pressure applied to
the paper causes the paper to stretch. If the images on sides
one and two are the same size, the stretching of the paper will
cause the image on side one to be slightly larger than the
image on side two.
Some color server manufacturers have a paper registration
feature that you can also use to adjust the position of the image on
the paper. Refer to the documentation that came with your color
server.
Use the following procedure to adjust for side one/side two
registration problems:
1
Prepare the image, or images, by noting a reference point on side
one, or by placing registration marks at the image border. You can
use a reference point within the image or at the corner of the
image.
Key point:
Remember that the digital press does not print bleed
edge images.
