Always perform the Auto Alignment Adjustment procedure before doing any manual adjustments. See Related Content. The majority of the time, the automatic alignment procedure will correct/fix most alignment issues.
Adjustments can be made to the image based on the alignment output of a document. Various adjustments can be modified such as: image position, scale, and skew. This can be achieved through the use of the twenty default adjustment types. In addition, a specific paper tray can be assigned to a specific adjustment type.
Adjustments can be made when the position of the output image is misaligned or skewed. This may be a result of paper expansion or contraction, cutting inaccuracy, or paper storage conditions. To compensate for this scenario, the Manual Alignment Adjustment feature can be used to adjust the image alignment.
The following adjustments can be made to the position of the output image.
Squareness Adjustment (Skew): Adjust a skewed image
Scale Adjustment: Adjust this when the size (scale) of the printed image is offset
Print Position Adjustment: Use this option when making adjustments to the lead edge of the image (X direction) and side edge of the image (Y direction). For example, use this when the images on sides 1 and 2 are misaligned.
