Through the Administration/Engine menu you can set print engine- related parameters.

Adjusting the Image Alignment

Usually, you don’t need to change the way images are placed on the printed page. But if you do, the Image Alignment option allows you to adjust both the horizontal and the vertical placement.

To check image alignment, print a standard status page (use the Status Page key on the printer control panel) on letter/A4-size paper. When the printer is placing images properly, the alignment angle bar in the lower-left corner of the status page is 0.5"/12.7 mm from the left and bottom edges of the page. If the angle bar is off, use the Image Alignment option to align the image horizontally and vertically in pixel increments (1/300" or 0.08 mm).

»Note: Engine constraints may limit the accuracy of pixel alignment.
