Printing a color registration sheet
Adjusting color registration alignment

If you transported your printer for a long distance, you need to check the color registration for possible misalignment.

Follow the steps below to print the color registration sheet.

Turn on the printer.

Load paper into the MP tray.

Make sure the LCD panel displays Ready or Sleep, then press the  Enter button on the control panel twice.

Press the  Down button several times to display ColorRegist Sheet.

Press the  Enter button. The printer prints a color registration sheet.

Check the alignment of the lines at the zero position for each color. If the color segment of the line is in alignment with the black segments on either side to make one straight line, you do not need to adjust the registration for that color. If the line segments are not aligned, adjust the registration as explained below.

Follow the steps below to adjust color registration.

Make sure the LCD panel displays Ready or Sleep, then press the  Enter button to access the control panel menus.

Press the  Down button several times until the LCD panel displays Color Regist Menu, then press the  Enter button.

Press the  Up button several times until the LCD displays the XXXX Regist item for the color (Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow) you need to adjust, then press the  Enter button. For example, to adjust the cyan registration, scroll up to Cyan Regist, then press the  Enter button.

On the color registration sheet, find the line segments that are most closely aligned, then use the  Up or  Down button to display the number that corresponds to that pattern. Press the  Enter button to complete the adjustment.

If necessary, print the color registration sheet for confirmation.
