Enter the measurement value after printing a chart and measuring the measuring points with scale.
Because the positions of both sides can be adjusted by only entering measurement values, this adjustment is useful for 2-sided printing with a new paper type or when the amount of misalignment between both sides is unknown after changing the paper in the tray.

Select the tray in which the papers to be adjusted have been set.
Press [Front], and then press [Chart Adjustment].
Press [Print Mode].

The figure shows an example where [1] and [5] are measured.
You can enter a value in 0.1 mm increments.
Be sure to make note of the measurement lengths.
Press the number of each point, and use the touch panel keypad or [][] to enter the measured length.
Press [Clear] to reset the value.

Measure the misalignment between of [1] to [4] on the [back] side <Back Side> and on the [front] side <Front Side> of the printed chart.
The figure shows an example to measure [1]. The scale resolution is 0.5 mm.
The black in the figure indicates the front side, and the blue indicates the back side.
Measure the X and Y directions to check the misalignment of print position.
You can enter a value in 0.1 mm increments.
Be sure to make note of the measurement values.
For example, when of [1] is misaligned leftward (plus side of X direction) by 2.0 mm and downward (minus side of Y direction) by 1.5 mm from the one on the front side as shown in the figure, press in order of [2][0][+/-] and enter -2.0 to correct and move rightward (minus side of X direction) the blue line on the back side by 2.0 mm in the X direction. And also press in order of [1][5] and enter +1.5 to correct and move upward (plus side of Y direction) by 1.5 mm in the Y direction.
Press [X] or [Y] of each point, and use the touch panel keypad or [][] to enter the measurement value.
If the print position is misaligned rightward or downward (minus side), enter a positive value. If misaligned leftward or upward (plus side), enter a negative value.
Use [+/-] to specify the value to be positive or negative.
Press [Clear] to reset the value.
To start the adjustment, press [Adjustment Start].
