Efficacy judgement of INTROT-T/ How to make adjustment
[Conditions]
- The level of color displacement on 5 sheets of image samples varies.
- And color displacement occurs as in the left below figure.
(When the leading edge of image is placed upward, Y/M/C appear to the right of Bk.)
Changing INTROT-T is effective.

= (Ref) Initial actions when color diaplacement correction fails:
Output 1 sheet of large size in PG5 in each color to check that the overall image is normal.
If light density and fault in the pressure mechanism of the primary transfer roller occur,
and image density is incorrect, color displacement correction does not work correctly.
