How to use test print pattern for correcting out-of-register colors (block pattern)

Align 3 toner colors (Y, C and K) with magenta (M) to make spacing equal at the leading edge and trailing edge of the test print pattern.

Pattern at the leading edge

Paper feeding direction

Pattern at the trailing edge

Correction at the leading/trailing edge

Before

After

Lower spacing (0.169 mm)

Upper spacing (0.169 mm)

Align the print positions of Y, C and K to M and make spacing equal.

To correct out-of-register colors:

Decrease the value for Y.

Decrease the value for C.

Increase the value for K.

*If spacing of the patterns at the leading edge and trailing edge of the printed pattern cannot be equalized at a time, adjust the spacing to meet either of the following conditions:

Make the upper spacing of the pattern at the leading edge equal to the lower spacing of the pattern at the trailing edge.

Make the lower spacing of the pattern at the leading edge equal to the upper spacing of the pattern at the trailing edge.

*If the direction or the amount of out-of-register colors is not consistent, print out several copies of the test print pattern to identify a pattern for the out-of-register colors (direction and amount). Then perform the adjustment most suitable for it.
