Adjusting the Print Position

Do this task when you load preprinted forms, adhesive labels, or other forms that

require a precise registration that is not satisfied by the factory-set default

registration.

Requirement For This Procedure

You must have a print job queued so that print data is available to print test

pages during this procedure. You cannot complete this procedure without

queued print data available.

In printing, the term registration refers to the relative print positions of images that

are printed at different times. For example, when you process preprinted forms, the

registration is good if the new image printed by the system printer aligns correctly

with the preprinted image (as shown in Figure 19).

Print that extends beyond box edges and text that overlaps other text are examples

of poor registration (as shown in Figure 20).
