Media Registration: Frequently Asked Questions

What should you do after a software update?

After a service technician upgraded the software you must verify the media registration. You can print the verification chart to verify if the media registration is optimal (see Print the Verification Chart for Media Registration).

What should you do after you copied the media catalog?

When you copy the media catalogue from one printer to another printer you must verify the media registration. You can print the verification chart to verify if the media registration is optimal (see Print the Verification Chart for Media Registration). The media registration depends on the printer and on the media.

How do you perform a media registration for temporary media?

You cannot perform media specific registration for temporary media. First add the temporary media to the media catalog. Next, perform the media registration for the selected media.

How do you perform a media registration of 1-sided media? Examples of 1-sided media are tab sheets and transparency media with paper backing.

You must perform a manual media registration. You cannot perform the automatic adjustment for media that you can only print 1-sided, because the adjustment procedure prints 2-sided registration sheets.

You cannot print the verification chart for 1-sided media because the verification chart is 2-sided. Use your own job to determine the required values and to verify the media registration.
