Chapter 6. Diagnosing Printer Problems 6–21
6. Measure the left margin of the test prin t.
If the left margin is 2 mm (0.08inches) , yo u do not have to adjust the
registration. If the left marg in is wider or narrower than 2 mm (0.08 inches),
calculate the difference. Use this m ea surement to adjust the registration
with the side registration adjustment dial.
Example
When the left margin is 2.8 mm
2.8 mm – 2.0 mm = 0.8 mm (Decrease the margin by 0.8 mm.)
0.8mm ÷ 0.4 mm = 2 (Decrease the dial value by 2.)
7. For the example above, turn the dial from 5 to 3. Use a screwdriver or your
hand to turn the dial.
8. Print another test print and check if th e lef t m arg in is 2 mm (0.08 inches).
If the margin is still not 2 mm (0.08 inches), repeat step 6 through step 8.
