Adjusting the Image Position (C7700 Series / C5700 Series Only)

Outputting a Test Page

Enter the number of test pages to make  press <Next>.

Select a paper source that contains a custom paper type  press <Start Printing>.

Adjusting Lead Edge Alignment of the Image

C7700 Series only Use <-> and <+> in <Front Side> in <Lead Edge (e) Alignment> to enter the value.

C5700 Series only Enter the value using <-> and <+> in <Front Side>.

<+>

<->

Turn over the test page  check the lead edge image on the back side of the test page.

Perform the test page again, and check the image position  press <OK>.

Adjusting Left Edge Alignment of the Image (C7700 Series Only)

<+>

<->

Turn over the test  page check the left edge image on the back side of the test page.

Perform the test page again, and check the image position  press <OK>.

Adjusting the Zoom Ratio of the Image (C7700 Series Only)

If you enter the enlargement/reduction ratio (%)

1

Set the enlargement/reduction ratio (%) for <Zoom (f)> and <Zoom (d)> on <Adjust Image Position> screen  press <OK>. <Zoom (f)> Enlarges or reduces the image in the direction that is parallel to the feeding direction according to the inputted ratio. <Zoom (d)> Enlarges or reduces the image in the direction that is perpendicular to the feeding direction according to the inputted ratio. As necessary, try printing out the test page paper again and then check the correction amount.

If you enter the value of the test page you measured manually

1	Measure the length of the <f> and <d> marks on the test page manually. The default values are <f> = 360.0 mm and <d> = 250.0 mm. If you print the test page using paper smaller than 270 mm x 380 mm, you cannot measure the length of <f> and <d> as the entire image will not be printed on the paper. In this case, calculate the expanding/reducing percentage by comparing the measured length of 'f/2' and 'd/2' with the default values (f/2: 180 mm, d/2: 125 mm). By using the calculated percentage, adjust the zoom ratio.
2	Press <Adjust Using Test Page>.
3	Enter the length of the test page on both front and back sides  press <OK>. For example, if the measured length of <f> is 360.4 mm, enter 360.4. The difference in length (0.4 mm in this case), is automatically reduced, so that the image is printed in the correct size. <f> Enter the measured length of <f> mark on the test page. <d> Enter the measured length of <d> mark on the test page. As necessary, try printing the test page again and then check the correction amount.

Correct Image Misalignment (C7700 Series Only)

		Right side
Feeding direction	Lead edge		Rear edge
		Left side

If the printed image is misaligned, make sure to specify the <Correct Image Misalignment> mode first.

Press <Set Details>  <Correct Image Misalignment>.

If you want to enter the values of the test page you measured manually

1	Measure the length of <i> and <j> on the test page. <i> is printed on the front left edge of the feeding direction, while <j> is printed on the rear left edge. Example: <i> = 21.0 mm, and <j> = 20.5 mm Measure the length of the <i> and <j> marks correctly as shown below. Correct measuring method Incorrect measuring method
2	On the <Correct Image Misalignment> screen, enter the actual <i> and <j> values for the front and back sides <i> Enter the measured length of <i> mark on the test page. <j> Enter the measured length of <j> mark on the test page. Following the example, setting a length of 21.0 mm for <i> and 20.5 mm for <j> causes the skewed difference of 0.5 mm to be automatically corrected.
3	Perform the test page again, and check the image position  press <OK>

If you want to enter the values of the output paper you measured manually

1	Check the image position on the output paper. In this example, the length of <h> is 360.0 mm, <i> is 21.0 mm, and <j> is 20.5 mm.
2	Measure and enter values of the following items  press <OK>. Using the following three numerical values, a device automatically adjusts so that printing area and a paper may become parallel. <h> Enter the measured length of the left side on the printing area. <i> Enter the measured length from the left side lead edge of the printing area to the left side edge of the paper. <j> Enter the measured length from the left side tail end of the printing area to the left side edge of the paper. Following the example, setting a length of 360.0 mm for <h>, 21.0 mm for <i>, and 20.5 mm for <j> causes the alignment difference of 0.5 mm to be automatically corrected.
3	Output the print again, and check the image position  press <OK>. Repeat the correction again, if necessary.

Press <OK>  <OK>.

To restore the accumulated value, press <Restore Initial Settings>. If register marks are printed on the output paper, the printed area is equal to the area inside the register marks.
