CAUTION: After printing the color registration chart, do not turn off the printer until the printer motor
has stopped running.
NOTE: If the straightest line does not line up perfectly with 0, then determine a value and adjust the color again.
Determining Values
From the lines to the right of the Y (Yellow), M (Magenta), and C (Cyan) pattern, find the values of the straightest lines.
NOTE: You can also use the densest colors of the lattice pattern to find the straightest lines. The colors printed at
the highest density are those next to the straightest lines. When 0 is the value nearest the straightest line, you do
not need to adjust the color registration. When the value is not 0, follow the procedure outlined in " Entering
Values ".
