Horizontal Register Position
The horizontal register is used in a similar way to the vertical
register. In this case, the shifting of the print image to the nozzles is
controlled. There are 16 extra nozzles, which allows the print image
for each colour to be moved sideways across the feed direction.
Start by checking the black (K) colour and compare it with all other
colours. If there is a general misalignment between black and all the
other colours, you could adjust black, but by doing so, you will
decrease the adjustment range for the other colours. The normal
adjustment range is -8 to + 7 dots, but since cyan, magenta and
yellow all are aligned in relation to black, adjustment of black will
affect the range for the others.
Once the horizontal position for black is adjusted or accepted,
determine the required adjustment for each of the other colours cyan
(C), magenta (M) and yellow (Y) in relation to black, and adjust as
described in chapter 4.12.

The lines across the test label and the boxes at the bottom of the test
label are used to compare the alignment between any combination
of two-colours and help detecting any misalignment.
Missing Jets
Individual nozzles may occasionally become clogged by ink or
foreign matter. Normally, the frequent auto-cleaning (see chapter
6.6) should prevent this, but after a having been out of use for some
time, the printer may need extra cleaning. Such cases are easily
detected on the second of the two "Noz.Chk Pattern" test labels, see
chapter 4.10, where missing jets are indicated by white lines along
the paper feed direction in the area of the respective colour. If
missing jets are detected, perform a Cleaning (B) session as
described in chapter 6.5. If the problem persists, contact your local
Intermec distributor for assistance.
