Adjusting the skew
The skew adjustment changes the angle of the horizontal lines so that the lines can be aligned with the leading
edge of the page. As the skew setting is changed, the top line on the test page stays in place at the left end,
while its right end tilts up or down. All horizontal lines on the page will tilt at that same angle while the vertical
lines will remain vertical. Changing the skew setting moves the right edge of the page up and down, and
changes the angle of the top and bottom lines. If the skew is properly adjusted, the horizontal lines at the top
of the page will be parallel to the leading edge of the page.
To check for skew:
1
Enter the Diagnostics menu, and then navigate to:
Printer diagnostics & adjustments > Registration adjust
2
Select Quick Test, and then press OK or touch Start.
The printer prints a test page.
Note: If there is no skew on the page, go to Adjusting the margins. See
page
301.
To adjust the skew:
1
Enter the Diagnostics menu, and then navigate to:
Printer diagnostics & adjustments > Registration adjust > Skew
2
Specify the value. The value range is from -100 to 100.
Notes:
•
For 2‑line LCD screens, use the left or right arrow buttons to increase or decrease the value.
•
Raising the value of the skew rotates the horizontal lines clockwise. The left end of the line remains in
the same place and the right end moves downward.
