Print the Verification Chart for Media Registration

Introduction

You can print the verification chart on a specific media to verify if the media registration for that specific media is optimal.

NOTE

You cannot print the verification chart on media that you can only print 1-sided because the verification chart is 2-sided. Use your own job to verify if the media registration is optimal.

Examples of 1-sided media are tab sheets and transparency media with paper backing.

Before you begin

Before you print the verification chart, make sure that the printer is warmed up. The printer must have printed for at least 20 minutes.

On the control panel, touch [Trays].
Select the media via the tray that contains the media.
Touch [Optimize] -> [Registration].
You can also select the media via the media catalog.
1. On the control panel, touch [System] -> [Media] to open the media catalog.
2. Select the media from the media catalog for which you want to print the verification chart for media registration.
3. Touch [Registration].
4. Select the feed direction for which you want to print the verification chart.
Touch [Print the verification chart].
The verification chart is printed and you can verify the media registration for the selected media.

The verification chart has an optimal result when the paper path is filled. Therefore three blank sheets precede the verification chart and two blank sheets are delivered after the verification chart is printed.

You are not charged for the blank sheets.

Results

You must use the lines in the corners of the verification chart to measure the registration for manual registration adjustment.
