Perform a media registration for standard-size media -
Print the test sheets and create the ruler
Introduction
The different properties of media can influence the alignment of images when the media are
printed. To ensure a correct alignment, you can perform a media registration for each individual
media in the [Media catalog]. The following values will be measured.
• The Z-position of side 1
• The X-length of side 1
• The Z-position of side 2
• The X-position of side 1
• The X-position of side 2.
For each media registration, a paper ruler and 3 test sheets will be printed. Depending on the
regional setting in the Settings Editor, the paper ruler is printed on A4 or Letter. You can use the
first printed sheet to create the paper ruler. However, you can also use a universal ruler of your
own. The ruler must be long enough to carry out the measurements. You must carry out each
measurement on all 3 test sheets. The system calculates the average value of the measurements.
This section describes how to perform a media registration for standard-size media (media with a
length of less than 390 mm / 15.35").
