Adjusting Lead Edge Alignment of the Image

This setting enables you to adjust the image position, by checking whether the register mark and the image at the leading edge toward the feeding direction are aligned on the test page.
1
Check the position of the lead edge image on the front side of the test page.
In the example below, adjustment is required because the center line of the register mark is 0.4 mm outside the edge of the test page. Follow the procedure described below to adjust the position of the lead edge image on the front side of the test page.
The test page with "1st side" printed on it is the front side.
