Print in transaction printing mode

When the transaction mode is active, you select a transaction setup that matches your print requirements.

When the alignment of the variable data is not correct, you adjust the image shift via the control panel or via a transaction printing setup with a preset defined image shift. The image shift is visible on all printed output from all paper trays.
