Contact MUSIC (SP2-111-004)

Correction with higher accuracy can be performed by contacting the image transfer roller and executing MUSIC in a condition that is almost the same as during actual printing. This process is called ‘contact MUSIC’.

Contact MUSIC can be done manually by executing HOME screen -> User Tools icon -> Maintenance: Image -> Color Registration (SP2-111-004).

Contact MUSIC's process is composed of the following three steps.

1. Normal (No-contact) MUSIC with 3 points (left, center, and right points in the picture below) on the ITB.
2. Paper transfer roller moves into contact with the ITB.
3. Contact MUSIC with 2 points (left and right points in the picture below).
   

   

Because the left and right points are outside the paper transfer roller, the paper transfer roller does not get dirty.

When the imageable area extension unit is installed, the left and right points (where the ID sensors are located) is in the printing area. Therefore, the image transfer roller cannot be contacted and execution of MUSIC becomes the same as the previous machine.

To execute Contact MUSIC, replace the imageable area extension unit to a normal roller, and set SP2-400-001 (Paper Transfer Roller Settings) to "0: Default roller".

Execution time varies from model to model.
