Manually adjusting the registration
The procedure for manually adjusting the registration is explained here. This proce-
dure is used when you select manual adjustment in the [Registration adjustment] key
operator program explained on page 12.
Touch the [MANUAL ADJUSTMENT] key and then the [EXECUTE] key to print the
adjustment pattern for manual registration adjustment. This pattern consists of scales
that show how much each of the colours C (cyan), M (magenta), and Y (yellow) are off.
If a colour deviates greatly from the reference value, it can be corrected by entering
the deviation value from the touch panel. Follow the steps below to manually adjust
the registration.
Understanding the adjustment pattern
The amount of deviation is given within a range of -60 to 60, where 60 represents the
maximum value and "0" represents minimal deviation. (See the enlarged view of scale
B.)
As shown in the diagrams, the scales indicating the range of deviation appear in pairs
for each colour, with one scale showing the x1 component of the deviation, and the
other scale showing the x10 component.
Scale A consists of two scales for each colour (C1, M1, Y1 and C2, M2, Y2), and the
peak value of the distribution range of each colour on the scale is the x1 component of
the deviation.
Adjustment is performed by entering the deviation, which is the total value of scale A
and scale B. However, in most cases adjustment is possible using just the deviation
value from scale A. Follow these steps to perform adjustment.
