[Chart Adjustment] ([Front]/[Back])
Overview
Separate charts are prepared to adjust the front side and the back side.
Measure the measurement points of the output chart by, for example, using a scale, and then enter the measurement value and perform the adjustment.
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 paper tray, because the position of both sides can be adjusted by just entering measurement values.
Tips
- Marks are printed on the front side of the chart for back side adjustment. For details about the marks on the chart, refer to About Charts.
