Adjusting the Print Position

Do this task when you load preprinted forms, adhesive labels, or other forms that require a precise registration that is not satis®ed by the factory-set default registration.

Requirement For This Procedure

You must have a print job queued so that print data is available to print test pages during this procedure. You cannot complete this procedure without queued print data available.

In printing, the term registration refers to the relative print positions of images that are printed at different times. For example, when you process preprinted forms, the registration is good if the new image printed by the system printer aligns correctly with the preprinted image (as shown in Figure 19).

Figure 19. Good Registration

Print that extends beyond box edges and text that overlaps other text are examples of poor registration (as shown in Figure 20).
