Image Misalignment (Center)

Print Sample
Symptom
The print position is largely
misaligned despite inserting
the original document
correctly aligned with the
original guide.
Chapter 8 Troubleshooting (Scanner Image Quality Problems)
Cause
The printer's center
alignment value or the
scanner's right-side scan
position is incorrect.
Problem Symptoms and Signs to Look For
◆ The print position is largely misaligned despite
inserting the original document correctly aligned with
the original guide.
Check to see if the problem is with the printer or the
scanner.
Step 1: Check the center position of the printer.
Print the engine test pattern 13, and measure
the specified block.
If there are any misaligned areas, adjust as
necessary.
Step 2: Check the right-side scan position of the
scanner.
After adjusting the printer's center alignment,
print the engine test pattern 13. With the copy
output, measure the right-side scan position
(with the same section as the printer for the
specified block).
Note that the specified block must be the same
as the one at the printer function.
Step 3: Adjust until the image shift is resolved.
