Adjusting margins

This printer provides a front-panel interface to adjust the page margins:

Single-sided print

  • Automatically prints when the printer has one tray only.

Duplex (Double-sided print)

  • Requires the Automatic Duplex / Lower Tray Assembly.
  • Duplex Unit must be installed in the upper tray slot.
  • In the front panel's Printer Defaults menu, Duplex mode must be enabled.

Adjusting margins for a single-sided print

You might want to adjust the margins on a single-sided page if the image area is not centered on the page. In other words, the margins are not even, relative to the outside edge of the paper.

 
  1. In the front panel's Printer Defaults menu, set the Duplex mode to Disable.
  2. Print the Margin Adjust page from the front panel.
    1. Press Menu.
    2. Scroll to Calibrate Margins. Press Menu; the display reads:
      3. Print Calibration Page
      <--- ---> Print
    3. Press Print.
  3. Determine if the margins need adjustment: use the page's top- and left-margin gauges to note how much the margins are off-center.
  4. Adjust the left margin:
    1. In the Calibrate Margins menu, scroll to Adjust Left Margin. Press Menu.
      2. Adjust Left Margin:+0
      <--- ---> OK
    2. Enter the amount of adjustment from Step 3 (press <--- or ---> to increase or decrease the amount); press OK.
  5. Adjust the top margin:
    1. Scroll to Adjust Top Margin. Press Menu.
      2. Adjust Top Margin:+0
      <--- ---> OK
    2. Enter the amount of adjustment from Step 3 (press <--- or ---> to increase or decrease the amount); press OK.
  6. Reprint the calibration page to confirm the adjustment.

Adjusting margins for a duplex print

You might want to adjust the margins on a two-sided page if the image area of the front side (shown in blue) is not aligned with the image area of the second side (shown in red).

 
  1. Adjust the margins for a single-sided print (refer to Adjusting margins for a single-sided print ).
  2. In the front panel's Printer Defaults menu, enable the Duplex mode: select Long-Edge or Short-Edge.
  3. Print the Margin Adjust page from the front panel.

    2. Scroll to Calibrate Margins. Press Menu; the display reads:
      3. Print Calibration Page
      <--- ---> Print
    3. Press Print.
  4. To determine if the margins need adjustment:
    1. Hold the page up to the light to see if the margin on the front and back sides align.
    2. Use the page's top- and left-margin gauges to note how much the alignment is off.
  5. Adjust the left margin:
    1. In the Calibrate Margins menu, scroll to Adjust Left Margin. Press Menu.
      2. Adjust Left Margin:+0
      <--- ---> OK
    2. Enter the amount of adjustment from Step 4 (press <--- or ---> to increase or decrease the amount); press OK.
