Measure the gap between the black line and other
colors (YMC) using a magnification scope.
Convert the measured value [
µ
m] to [dots] with the
following formula. Then, add or subtract the calculated
dot value in the SP mode.
Correction [dots] = Measured value [
µ
m] / 21.2
If color (YMC) has shifted to the left in relation to black,
add the above value to the current setting.
If color (YMC) has shifted to the right in relation to black,
subtract the above value from the current setting.
Examples
•
If the magenta line has shifted to the left by 40
µ
m,
add 4 to the current setting of SP5-993-011
Correction [dots] = +(40/21.2) = Approx. +2
•
If the magenta line has shifted to the right by 70
µ
m,
subtract 3 from the current setting of SP5-993-011.
Correction [dots] = -(70/21.2) = Approx. -3

Front or
rear The amount of color
shift at the front and
rear sides becomes
gradually bigger
toward the trailing

Transfer belt
position
- -
•
Check if the side fences of the paper trays are
properly positioned. If there is clearance between the
paper and the side fences, this causes paper to skew
during paper transport.
•
Check if the transfer belt is in correct position, if the
tension springs are properly set, or if the paper
attraction roller is properly installed..
