Adjusting Color Registration
Color Registration can be automatically or manually adjusted.

When “0” is the value nearest the straightest line, you do not need to adjust the
color registration. When the value is not “0,” refer to “Manual Color Registration
Adjustment” on page 6-4.

Manual Color Registration Adjustment
Color registration can be adjusted manually by a user or automatically by the
printer. Color registration should be adjusted any time the printer is moved. The
color registration can be fine tuned by performing a manual adjustment.
An automatic color registration adjustment is performed every time a new
Imaging Unit is installed.
Horizontal Registration
Section 1 of the Color Registration Correction Chart displays a series of lines. Some
lines are straight, with both the colored and Black segments aligned, while other
lines are jagged, with the colored segments offset to the right or left. A value is
listed next to each line. When the value is 0, the color registration needs no
adjustment.
To determine correction values for Horizontal Registration, choose the straightest
line. If the value listed next to the straight line is anything other than 0, follow the
procedure below to enter values.
The densest colors of the grid can also be used to find the straightest lines.
The colors printed at the highest density are those next to the straight lines.
