Media Registration

With elongation, the lines at the left-hand side (leading edge) of the verification chart are at the correct position. The image is elongated / shrunk at the right-hand side (trailing edge) of the sheet.

Procedure

  1. On the verification chart, determine if the image on the back side has an elongation or the image on the front side.

    Use the X elongation back to adjust the back side.

    Use the X elongation front to adjust the front side.

  2. On the verification chart, use an accurate ruler to measure the distance between the lines on the front side and the back side at the right-hand side of the sheet.

    • Measure the distance between the vertical lines at the front side and the back side at the top-right corner.

      For example, hold the verification chart against the light, or measure the distance between the line and the edge of the sheet on the front side and the back side.

    • Measure the distance between the vertical lines at the front side and the back side at the bottom-right corner.

    • Calculate the average value.

  3. Calculate this average value as a percentage of the media size in the feed direction.

    For example: 1 mm is 0.48% of 210 mm (0.04" is 0.48% of 8.27").

  4. Enter the value according to the table below.
  5. Confirm the changed value.
  6. Print the verification chart again and verify if the media registration is optimal.

    If the media registration is not optimal, change the value or use another setting depending on how the registration looks.
