Measuring misregistration

Guide to Performing Routine Maintenance
To check whether paper registration adjustment is needed:
1. Prepare the image, or images, by noting a reference point on
side one, or by placing registration marks at the image
border. You can use a reference point within the image or at
the corner of the image.
NOTE: Remember that the printer does not print bleed edge
images.
2. Print 10 duplex pages and compare the registration mark or
reference point on side one to side two. Discard the first few
prints, as inconsistency tends to be greater with these
images. If there is misregistration, continue to the next step.
3. Measure the distance between the registration point and the
edge of the paper on both the lead edge (Y) of the paper and
the side edge (X). The solid line registration marks indicate
the reference point on side one. The dotted lines indicate the
reference point on side two.
