Adjusting Printing Position

You can adjust the printing position registrated for each tray. Only the horizontal printing position can be adjusted. "Horizontal" means perpendicular to the feed direction. Normally you do not need to update the printing position. However, updating is useful in some cases when the optional paper feed unit is installed.
