Sub Compile CD Width Adjustment

If there is misalignment in the sub-compiled pages or the first half of the body sets, adjust the width to reduce the misalignment and curve.

The sizes referred to in this section are those of body sets corresponding to cover sizes.

As an example, this section explains how to adjust a misalignment of 1 mm.

  • Negative values reduce the curve.

  • Positive values reduce the misalignment.

• When to perform
