Color Registration
Adjust color registration with the following procedure when color registration errors occurred.
Check the occurrence of color registration errors
Prepare some A3 sheets.
1. Execute SP2-111-004 (Forced line Position Adj.: Mode d)
2. Make sure that execution completed successfully with using SP2-194-007 (MUSIC). If the value of
SP2-194-007 is “0”, it indicates that the result of SP2-111-004 was successful. If the value of
SP2-194-007 is “1”, it indicates that the result of SP2-111-004 was a failure, which you need to
fix the color registration errors (See “Ways to fix color registration errors” page 424).
3. Execute SP2-109-003 (Test Pattern: Pattern Selection)
4. With a loupe, check the details of the color registration errors on the printed test pattern
(page 424).
