    for each paper type and process line 
    speed. 
    Side to Side 
    Adjusts the side-to-side registration for each  paper feed station. Use SP mode (SP1-002) 
    to adjust the side-to-side registration for t he optional paper feed unit, LCT, and duplex unit. 
    Adjustment Standard 
    ƒ  Leading edge (sub-scan direction): 4.2 ± 2 mm 
    ƒ  Side to side (main-scan direction): 2 ± 1 mm 
    Paper Registration Standard

    tolerance. 
    ƒ  Sub-scan direction: 0 ± 9 mm 
    ƒ  Main-scan direction: 0 ± 4 mm 
    Adjustment Procedure 
    1. Enter SP2-109-003. 
    2.  Print out the test pattern (14: 1-dot trimming pattern) with SP2-109. 
     
    ƒ  Registration can change sli ghtly as shown on the previous page. Print some 
    pages of the 1-dot trimming pattern fo r step 3 and 4. Then average the leading 
    edge and side-to-side registration va lues and adjust each SP mode. 
    3.  Do the leading edge registration adjustment.  1.  Check the leading edge registra tion and adjust it with SP1-001. 
    2.  Select the adjustment conditions  (paper type and process line speed). 
    3.  Input the value. Then press the 
     key. 
    4.  Generate a trim pattern to check the leading edge adjustment.

    4.  Generate a trim pattern to check the leading edge adjustment. 
    3.3.4  ERASE MARGIN ADJUSTMENT 
     
    ƒ  Adjust the erase margin C and D only if  the registration (main scan and sub scan) 
    cannot be adjusted within t he standard values. Do the r egistration adjustment after 
    adjusting the erase margin C and D, and t hen adjust the erase margin A and B. 
     
    1. Enter SP2-109. 
    2.  Print out the test pattern (14: 1-dot trimming  pattern) with SP2-109. 
    3.  Check the erase margin A and B. Adjust  them with SP2-103 if necessary. 
    Leading edge: 1.5 to 5.0 mm,   
    Side-to-side:0.5 to 4.0 mm,   
    Trailing edge: 0.5 to 0.6 mm 
    3.3.5 COLOR REGISTRATION 
    Line Position Adjustment 
    The automatic line positio n adjustment usually is 
    done for a specified conditi on to get the best color 
    prints.  
    Do the following if color registration shifts:   
    ƒ  Do “Auto Color Registration” as follows  to do the forced line position adjustment.   
    1.  First do SP2-111-3.   
    2.  Then do SP2-111-1.  To check if SP 2-111-1 was successful,  watch the screen during the process. A 
    message is displayed at the end. Also, you can check the result with SP 2-194-10 
    to -12. 
    ƒ  You should also do the line posit ion adjustment at these times: 
    ƒ  After you transport or move the machi ne (you should do the forced line position 
    adjustment if you install the machine at  the user location.) if the machine is 
    pre-installed at the workshop and moved to the user location,

    3.3.6 PRINTER GA MMA CORRECTION 
     
    ƒ  The ACC is usually sufficient to adjust the color balance to get the best print output. 
    You only need the printer gamma correction to fine-tune to meet user 
    requirements. 
    Use SP modes if you want to modify the printer gamma curve created with ACC. You can 
    adjust the gamma data for the following: 
    ƒ Highlight 
    ƒ Middle 
    ƒ Shadow areas 
    ƒ IDmax.  
    The adjustable range is from 0 to 30 (31 steps).
