PRODUCT DIFFERENCES/USER CONSIDERATIONS
XEROX DOCUPRINT 180 LASER PRINTING SYSTEM PRODUCT GUIDE 5-21
Registration shift and skew
The registration of a printed image can appear shifted or skewed on
a page if the sheet of paper is misaligned as it enters the printer.
Because of the design of the DocuPrint 180 LPS feeder, the image
registration on each page can vary slightly both horizontally and
vertically by up to 0.65 mm. The image can also be slanted or
skewed slightly by 3.97 milliradians. (Figures 5-3 and 5-4 illustrate
landscape and portrait shift and skew.) Note that the following figures
are the same specifications merely rotated to show portrait and
landscape orientations. The shift and skew variances described here
are within allowable specifications, but as this can affect the
registration of variable data in preprinted forms and the placement of
images close to the edge of the page, it is important to make
allowance for this condition.
Figure 5-3 illustrates the landscape orientation shift and skew.
