Measure the gap between the black line and other
colors (YMC) using a magnification scope.
Convert the measured value from [
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 or 42.4
600 dpi mode: 1 dot = 42.4
µ
m
1200 dpi mode: 1 dot = 21.2

m
If color (YMC) has shifted up in relation to black, add the
above value to the current value.
If color (YMC) has shifted down in relation to black,
subtract the above value from the current value.
Examples
•
If the magenta line has shifted up in relation to black
by 40
µ
m in 600dpi mode, add 1 to the current setting
of SP5-993-017.
Correction [dots] = +(40/42.4) = Approx. +1
•
If the magenta line has shifted down in relation to
black by 70
µ
m in 600dpi mode, subtract 2 from the
current setting of SP5-993-17.
Correction [dots] = -(70/42.4) = Approx. –2
