Determining Values
On the color registration chart printed, find the straightest lines where the two black lines and the colored line are most closely aligned for each color (Y, M, and C).
If you find the straightest line, make a note of the value (-5 – +5) indicated by the straightest line for each color.
When the value is 0 for each color, you do not need to adjust the color registration.
When the value is not 0, enter the value according to the procedure in "Entering Values" on page 154.
