Determining the Color Registration Values

The Color Registration Chart shows horizontal and vertical values for each color. The horizontal values are:

•LY = left yellow

•LM = left magenta

•LC = left cyan

•RY = right yellow

•RM = right magenta

•RC = right cyan

The vertical values are:

•PY = paper feed direction yellow

•PM = paper feed direction magenta

•PC = paper feed direction cyan

To determine the horizontal values:

1.In the top section of the Color Registration Chart, lines are displayed next to the color letters LY, LM, LC, RY, RM, and RC. Some lines are straight and other lines are jagged. A value is listed next to each line. For each color, examine the lines and determine which one is the straightest. Refer to the enlarged illustration on the chart that shows how to determine the closest number.

2.For each color, do one of the following:

•If zero (0) is the value nearest the straightest line, you do not need to adjust the color registration.
