[Auto Duplex Adjustment]
Overview
Configure settings to perform Auto Duplex Adjustment using the actual image of a job.
Normally, adjustment is done using [Both Sides Adj.] of this system. However, the actual image has the greater coverage (printing percentage) than a test chart, so the paper stretch rate changes, which may cause a deviation between the front and back positions.
In such a case, use this function to re-adjust the front and back positions.
NOTICE
- If the front/back position adjustment function is enabled even when the front and back positions are adjusted by this function to print a job, the adjustment value will be updated. If this function is set, it is recommend to set [Concurrent Execution of BothSidesAdj.] and [Period. Both Sides Auto Adj.] to [OFF].
Tips
- Image Controller is required to use this function. For details, refer to What Is the PS Plug-in Driver?.
Tips
- The front/back position adjustment value is updated only for the paper tray output by this function.
- The adjustment value is applied to the next job after [Auto Duplex Adjustment] was completed.
- Print crop marks on the actual image of a job, and adjust the front and back positions. If there are multiple pages, all of them are printed, so it is recommended to select only the target page.
- Adjustment is made based on the top page. If a job contains an actual image of which the coverage is significantly different from others, misalignment may occur between the front and back positions.
