How to Fix Misalignment of Images

If the following troubles often occur, the machine may have 
alignment problems� Follow the procedures described in this 
section to solve such problems�

•  The register marks on one side of a printed sheet do not 

match those on the other side�

•  The thumb indexes on the printed pages are not aligned�
•  The image is not printed within the register marks�

NOTE

•  You may not be able to correct misalignment that is less 

than 1�0 mm (1/25")�

•  The machine decides the printing start position based on 

the leading edge of the paper� After the front side of the 
paper is printed, the paper is reversed and the back side of the paper is printed from the trailing edge� Because of 
this, the position where printing starts may be slightly different on opposite sides of the paper�
