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).
