Image Alignment
Image Align is a numeric value for adjusting the placement of the
printed image on the page. There are four types of image alignment:
horizontal offset, duplex horizontal offset, vertical offset, and duplex
vertical offset. Values for each setting range from 0 to 300 (1"/25.4
cm) pixels with a default of 100.
Usually, you do not need to use image alignment to adjust image
placement. To check the alignment, print a standard status page on
letter-size paper. An alignment bracket is printed 1/2" (13 mm) from
the lower-left corner of the paper. If the measurements are off, use
the Image Align option to move the image in pixel increments (1/300"
or 0.08 mm).
Horizontal and Vertical Controls
Horizontal and vertical controls are based on the leading edge of the
paper. Although they are consistent, they may appear to be reversed
in function, depending on the leading edge of the paper.
■
Paper fed long edge first, including letter-size, with portrait-
oriented printing — horizontal and vertical operate as expected.
■
Paper fed long edge first, including letter-size, with
landscape-oriented printing — horizontal and vertical appear
reversed.
■
Paper fed short edge first, such as 11x17, with portrait-oriented
printing — horizontal and vertical operate appear reversed.
