    [A4]

    Reducing the 1 mm misalignment (10)

    • Press [1], [0], and [Set] to enter the value [10]. This reduces the misalignment by 1 mm.

    • Press the keypad on the screen to set the value.

    • Use [+/-] to specify the value to be positive or negative. Set a positive value (narrower) to reduce misalignment. Set a negative value (wider) to reduce curve.

    • The values are in 0.1 mm increments. (1 = 0.1 mm)

    • With a specific paper size selected, the set value becomes the sum of the entered value and the value previously specified for [Offset for All Size].

    • Pressing [Print Mode] switches the mode to print mode, which allows you to print the original.

  7. Print the original again in perfect binding and check the alignment in the body sets.

    Repeat the above steps until there is no misalignment in the body sets.
