There are factory default alignment values for the Top and Left Side values for your GX Auto Printer,
referring to the top and left margin sizes, respectively. These can be found on the label on the back
of the GX Auto Printer. You may need to adjust the values, depending on the images you are printing
or the media on which you are printing.
1. Place an Alignment CD (see figure 1) directly on the belts below the
input hopper. The robotics will not load the disc for you.
2. Click the Print Alignment CD button.
3. The alignment guide will be printed on the disc (see figure 2).
4. Confirm the numbers that cross the circle.
5. If the circle does not cross the alignment guide at both zero points, change the Top and Left
Side alignment values by the number at which the circle does cross the guide (See figure 3).
6. Once the new numbers are entered, click Apply.
The Alignment CD pattern
should ONLY be printed with the
printer fully aligned and in Photo
