2. The DC controller measures each color’s misregistration based on the positions of the
patterns detected by the misregistration detection (See
Color misregistration control).
3. The measured information is then sent to the formatter.
4. The formatter controls each color’s VIDEO signals according to such information,
making an adjustment to the horizontal scan starting position, horizontal scanning scale,
or scan starting position.
A vertical color misregistration is also corrected by the DC controller, without communicating
with the formatter, through the speed control over the scanner motor in this printer. (See
Color misregistration control.)
In principle, the DC controller automatically sends a command to the formatter when the
printer meets the above conditions. However, when the above conditions are not met, the
formatter can send a command to the DC controller to execute this control.
