INIT. LINE REGISTR. (Initial Line Registration)
The conditions inside the printer for feeding of the first pages of a fanfold
paper starting from paper load or paper parking position for paper
transportation is different during continuous printing. If not compensated, it
may lead to an extension of the total line registration tolerance.
The function shall be used to compensate this effect and precisely position
the print out even at the very beginning of a print job.
There are five patterns available.
Effects of the patterns:
A correction by means of pattern 2 to 6 shifts the print image to the bottom
(in direction of the middle of the paper).
Pattern 1:
No correction
Pattern 2:
Displacement on the first 2 pages by 0,5 mm
Pattern 3:
Displacement on the first 2 pages by 1,0 mm
Pattern 4:
Displacement on the first 2 pages by 1,5 mm
Pattern 5:
Displacement on the first 5 pages up to 0,5 mm
Pattern 6:
Displacement on the first 5 pages up to 1,0 mm
The compensation values apply to a paper length of 11 inch. For page
length different to 11 inch the printer automatically adapts the values
accordingly.
Typically, pattern 3 has the best correction result for standard paper of a
weight of 70 - 90 g/m² and a paper width of 9 up to 17 inch. If ever required
pattern 5 or 6 should be applied for thick paper of 120 g/ m² and above.
