3. Profiles
When creating Alignment Profiles for Side 1 and/or Side 2 prints, be aware of the following:
•Side 1/Side 2 images may be misregistered because the paper is not 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 recommended 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 1 and 2 are the same size, the stretching of the paper may cause the image on Side 1 to be slightly larger than the image on Side 2.
•Creating an Alignment Profile for these types of jobs allows you to reduce or eliminate the images being larger on Side1 than on Side 2 prints.
NOTE 1: Your Alignment Profile may or may not be affiliated with a Custom Paper Profile.
NOTE 2: Once an Alignment Profile is set and in use, your color server will not reflect that profile in the print options for print jobs.
NOTE 3: After an Alignment Profile is set, it remains active until you reenter Administrator mode and switch it off. If an active Alignment Profile is not associated with a Custom Paper Profile, it is used for each paper tray to which it is assigned.
