Start
. An information message lets you know that the test print is being created, followed by
a message that the print is complete.
14. A message appears that tells you that the test print is complete. Click
Close
. An adjustment
window opens that shows you the two dimensions that need to be measured and entered:
A
and
B
.
15. Collect the Test Print and hold it in front of the adjustment window in the position shown on the
left of the window, with the large black arrow facing up and pointing left.
16. Determine whether the left and right sides are equal or if one of the sides is longer. If the sides
are equal, you do not need to make any adjustments and you can go to
17. If one side is longer, measure the amount of overlap – the distance between the edges.
Determine the difference in millimeters.
18. Select
Left Side of Fold is Longer
or
Right Side of Fold is Longer
. Note that the left side is the
top side in the drawing and the right side is shown on the bottom.
19. Set the distance of the overlap using the up arrow. As you enter the amount in millimeters, the
image of the fold changes to confirm which edge you selected as longer. Look at the image and
verify that it represents the layout of your test print.
20. Now evaluate the staple position. If the staple lies exactly on the fold, you do not need to make
any adjustments and you can go to next step. If the staple is positioned off from the center of
the fold, measure the distance from the fold in millimeters.
21. If the staple is too far up and onto the top sheet, select
Left of Fold
. If the staple is rotated too
far down and onto the bottom sheet, select
Right of Fold
.
22. Set the distance of the offset using the Up Arrow. As you enter the amount in millimeters, the
image of the staple position changes to confirm which direction you selected. Look at the image
and verify that it represents the staple position on your test print. This completes the
adjustments for Set 1.
23. To output a sample with the new settings, select
Test Print
. If you are satisfied with the new fold
and staple positions, go to the next step. If further adjustments are needed, return to the earlier
steps to measure and adjust the fold position in
, or the staple position in
, or both
positions.
24. On the right side of the screen, notice the Sheets in Set 2 field. This is the number of sheets in Set
2. You can leave this number as it is and complete the steps. This ensures that the profile is
flexible enough to be appropriate for booklets with a range of pages. However, if you always print
booklets of a certain size, you can set this number to the exact number of pages in your booklets
for greater accuracy. The maximum is 30. You can set this now or leave it at the default setting
for greater flexibility.
25. On the right side of the adjustment window, click
Test Print
.
26. From the Tray menu that opens, select
Start
. To make adjustments for Set 2, repeat
27. When all adjustments are complete, click
