Checking Print Registration; Figure 9-5 Checking The Registration Of The Toner Layers - Tektronix Phaser 550 Service Manual

Checking print registration

A simple way to determine if the printer is properly registering (overlaying) the
layers of toner is to print and examine the Startup Page.
1.
Press the Menu button.
2. With the Help pages menu displayed, scroll to the Startup Page
item. Press Print.
Examine the four six-color pies at the bottom of the print. You should see no
white areas bordering the black lines separating the color slices. If you do, the
printing is misregistered and the imaging unit should be replaced. Also clean
the accumulator belt home position sensor.
