REGISTRATION

Print registration makes sure the black printing plane is properly aligned on the page. This is one of the steps in aligning a new printhead. It is also the first step in aligning the duplex registration.

To set Registration:

1. Select Registration from the Diag Menu, and press Select.
2. Use Left or Right to select Print Quick Test, and press Select. See “Quick Test” for addition information. The message Printing... appears on the display, and the page prints. Retain this page to determine the changes you need to make to the margin settings.
3. Press Select to enter the Registration.
4. Use Left or Right to select the margin setting you need to change, and press Select.
5. Use Left to decrease or Right to increase the offset values, and press Select to confirm the value. The message Submitting changes displays, and the original margin setting screen appears.

   Description	Value	Direction of change
   Top margin	-50 to +50 Each increment corresponds to 8 scans at a 600 dpi scan rate (0.0133 inches or 0.339 mm). The default is 0.	A positive change moves the image down the page and increases the top margin. A negative change moves the image up and decreases the top margin. No compression or expansion occurs.
   Bottom margin	-25 to +25 Each increment causes approximately 0.55 mm shift in the bottom margin. The default is 0.	A positive offset moves text down the page and narrows the bottom margin, while a negative offset moves text up the page and narrows the bottom margin. The image is compressed or expanded.
   Left margin	-25 to +25 Each increment corresponds to 4 pixels at 600 dpi (0.00666 in. or 0.1693 mm). The default is 0.	A positive change moves the image to the left, and a negative change moves the image to the right.
   Right margin	-50 to +50 Each increment corresponds to an approximate shift of 4 pixels at 600 dpi. The default is 0.	A positive change moves the image to the left, and a negative change moves the image to the right.
   Skew	-100 to +100 Each increment corresponds to 1/1200 of an inch. The default is 0.	A positive value causes the left end of the scan line to move down the page. A negative value causes the left end of the scan line to move up the page. The right end stays fixed. There is no compression or expansion of the image.

6. Print another copy of the Quick Test to verify your changes.
7. Continue changing the settings by repeating steps 3 through 5.
