Adjusting the Image Position on Side 2

If you want to align an image position on Side 2 to an image position on Side 1 that has been adjusted, see Aligning the Image Position on Side 2 to That on Side 1 (Using a Template to Align the Image Position on Side 1 and 2).

<If custom paper is used>

Perform the solution described in "(a) Adjust the image skew", "(b) Adjust the image position (If custom paper is used)", "(c) Adjust the magnification (Across feed direction)" and then "(d) Adjust the magnification (With feed direction)".

<If custom paper is not used>

Perform the solution described in "(a) Adjust the image skew", "(e) Adjust the image position (If custom paper is not used)".

Note

  • You cannot adjust the vertical magnification and horizontal magnification of all types of paper other than custom paper. Therefore, it is recommended to pre-register the type of paper in use as a custom paper.

  • When manual adjustments or adjustments using a template are performed, even if 1103: [Image Position Feedback Correction] is set to [Detection Mark: Back] or [Detection Mark: Front & Back], the adjustments may not correct the image position. When using 1103: [Image Position Feedback Correction] with [Detection Mark: Back] or [Detection Mark: Front & Back] set, auto image position adjustment is required.
