Media-Specific Registration

About this task

When the media registration for a specific media is not optimal.

You can start a media-specific registration from the trays view or from the media catalog. First, the steps of the media registration procedure are described in general.

NOTE
  • The media-specific registration overwrites any automatic or manual media-specific registration performed previously.

  • You cannot perform media-specific registration for temporary media. You must add the temporary media to the media catalogue first.

  • You cannot perform an automatic adjustment for media that you can only print 1-sided, because the adjustment procedure prints 2-sided registration sheets. Examples of 1-sided media are tab sheets and transparency media with paper backing. For these media, you must perform a manual media registration.

  • It is recommended to perform the media registration when the list of [Scheduled jobs] is empty. Otherwise, other jobs can start printing while the media registration takes place.

NOTE
  • When the media is larger than the glass plate (larger than 420 mm (16.5") in X direction (feed direction) and / or larger than 297 mm (11.7") in Z direction (perpendicular to the feed direction)), you can still perform media specific registration. The information needed for the automatic adjustment is within the range of the glass plate. You must only enter the actual sheet size via the manual adjustment for this media. The scanner cannot detect the actual sheet size and assumes the nominal sheet size.

Media Registration Procedure

  2. Scan the printed registration sheets one by one. First the front side, then the back side.
