F. Skew (image skew)
• If the image of each color (Y, M, C) is tilted against the image of black (K) in the sub-
scanning direction, the image skew can be corrected by tilting the G3 lens of the print
head unit. Image skew correction needs to be performed separately for the respective
colors (Y, M, C).
• Image skew is adjusted at timing when the image stabilization sequence is started.
* When the image of magenta is tilted against the image of black (K)
