Adjusting Simplex Registration - Fuji Xerox Phaser 5500 Service Manual

Adjusting Simplex Registration

Note
When making scan direction adjustments, or for all trays in the process direction,
adjustment changes are automatically replicated for duplex prints. Following a
scan or all tray process direction adjustment, check that duplex registration
remains within specification.
In general, it is best to make registration adjustments for individual trays. Limit use of
the All Trays utilities to only those instances when testing indicates a general mis-
alignment condition exists.
Registration changes are made by increasing or decreasing the stored value that
controls the image position on the page. For scan direction adjustments, each variable
is set at the factory to a value of 50. The maximum for scan direction adjustments is
99 with a minimum of 1. Increasing or decreasing a scan direction value by one (1)
results in a .254 mm change in the image position. For the process direction the
factory default is 33. The maximum is 66 and the minimum is zero (0).
Changes to the current value for process direction variables by one (1) moves the
leading edge of the image .363mm closer or further from the edge of the paper.
