When the stapled prints are not aligned adequately, it may be because the finisher side-to-side registration is inaccurate. Adjust the finisher side-to-side registration in the following way.

  1. Enter SP mode.
  2. Set SP6-138-001 to "1" (default: 0).
    This configures the machine to stop the fed sheet at the finisher entrance.
  3. Execute a print job using A4 or LT paper with the finisher selected as the paper output tray.
    The printed sheet stops at the finisher entrance.
  4. Remove the right upper cover. (Right Upper Cover (IM 600SRF))
  5. Remove the left upper cover. (Left Upper Cover (IM 550F/600F))
  6. Open the rear upper cover [A].
  7. Release the belts [A] from the mainframe by twisting the ends.

  8. Remove the rear fan cover. (Rear Fan Cover (IM 600SRF Only))

  9. Compare the edge of the paper and the guidelines [A] to determine the required amount of adjustment.
