Determining Values
From the lines to the right of the Y (yellow), M
(magenta), and C (cyan) pattern, find the values of
the straightest lines.
When “0” is the value nearest the straightest line,
you do not need to adjust the color registration.
When the value is not “0”, follow the procedure
outlined in “Entering Values”.
Note
• You can also use the densest colors of the grid to find
the straightest lines. The colors printed at the highest
density are those next to the straightest lines.
