Follow the procedure below to adjust where to start printing on paper loaded in each paper tray after checking the test pattern printed.
To check the printed test pattern, proceed to step 8..
Open the printer properties dialog box.
Click the [Maintenance] tab.
Click [Registration].
In the [Unit type:] list, select a paper tray. In the [Paper type:] list, select a paper type.
Click [Next >].
Check that A4/Letter size paper is loaded in the paper tray.
Click [Next >].
A test pattern to adjust the print start position is printed.
Do not perform other operations during printing.
Check the optimal adjustment values on the printed test pattern.
Fold the test pattern sheet in half lengthwise.
The optimal adjustment value is the difference between the single vertical line and the cross's vertical line that you can see when the folded paper is held up to light. When the difference is one calibration mark in the "+" direction, the optimal adjustment value for the [Printing direction:] is "+1.0".
Fold the test pattern sheet in half widthwise, and then check the adjustment value for the [Paper feed direction:].
Adjustment values are in 0.1 increments.
In the [Printing direction:] and [Paper feed direction:] boxes, enter the adjustment values (-4.0 to +4.0) from step 8..
Click [Finish].
If a test pattern does not print or the image is not clear, select the [Print a test pattern and return to this screen] check box, and then click [Next >]. A registration test pattern is printed and the dialog box displayed in step 9..
