Via the Settings Editor

NOTE

• It is not preferred to perform the manual media registration via the Settings Editor. The manual media registration via the control panel is preferred because you can print the verification chart immediately after you changed a setting.

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

Print the verification chart to verify the media registration.

1. Start the Settings Editor application.

2. Click [Media] to open the media catalog.

3. Select the media from the media catalog for which you want to perform the media registration.

4. Click [Optimize].

   When you are not logged in, the login screen appears.

5. Enter the username and password to start the registration.

6. Select for which feed direction you to perform the media registration.

7. Enter the required values. The sections related to the manual media registration via the control panel (see Via the Control Panel) describe how to determine the values you must enter. Only the [Corrections for preprinted media] are not available on the control panel. These settings are described in this section.

   For 1-sided media you simply have to correct the media registration of the front side. Examples of 1-sided media are tab sheets and transparency media with paper backing. For 1-sided media you cannot use the verification chart because the verification chart is 2-sided. To perform the media registration you must use your own image to determine the required values.

   Possible settings, as displayed in the Settings Editor:

   • Actual sheet size

   • Registration front side

     • Trapezoid

     • Diamond

     • Skew

     • X elongation (0.01%)

     • X offset

     • Z offset

   • Registration back side

     • Trapezoid

     • Diamond

     • Skew

     • X elongation (0.01%)

     • X offset

     • Z offset

   • Corrections for preprinted media (see Corrections for Preprinted Media)

     • [X image shift front ({0})]

     • [X image shift back ({0})]

     • [Z image shift front ({0})]

     • [Z image shift back ({0})]

8. When the media registration is ready, the icon appears behind the media registered.

NOTE

• In most cases, after automatic media registration you must only adjust the elongation and / or the image shift.

• If there are two or more registration problems, you must solve the problems one by one. First you correct the registration of each side. Then you correct the front-to-back side registration. For example, if the image is skewed and there is a problem with the front-to-back side registration, then you must first adjust the skewed image. If the skewing is correct, you must improve the front-to-back side registration.

NOTE

If you are unable to recognize which kind of media registration deviation you have (see Example 1 - Images and Text), perform the following actions:

1. Measure the value for the skewed image, diamond shape image and trapezoid image. See the corresponding sections.

2. Select the deviation with the largest value and correct the deviation. Use the corresponding manual actions described in this document.

3. Print the verification chart.

4. If the angles in the corners are straight then continue with the next step. If not, repeat step 1 - 3.

5. If needed, correct the image shift and / or elongation. Use the corresponding manual actions described in this document.
