Adjusting the Registration Gate Position
Overview of adjustment
Using “T6000 70W” - “A3" or “DLT”, print a trim image from Tray 2 with setting to “Plain paper, Paper Thick 2”.
Adjust the gate position using a measurement with the trim image, so that appropriate skew is obtained.
Do not use any custom papers.
Set A3 or DLT plain paper (63.1-80.0 gsm) on Tray 2.
Select [14: Trimming Area] in SP 2-109-003 (Test Pattern - Pattern Selection) to print 5 copies of the test pattern Trimming Area in b/w and simplex.
Calculate the skew amount “[1] - [2]” on all five copies, and calculate the average value of all the five copies. If the average value is not within the recommended range +/- 0.2 mm, go to the next step.
It is a good idea to use a loupe.
Open the right front door.
Lower the handle B5 [A] and then remove the small cover [B] (
Loosen the two screws on the adjustor plate (
Move the adjustor plate left or right to adjust the skew so that the skew amount “[1] – [2]” on all 5 copies is within the recommended range +/- 0.2mm.
1 notch [A] on the scale is equivalent to a skew adjustment of approximately 0.2mm. * This value may vary with variations in parts.
If [1] > [2]: move the adjustor plate to the right.
If [1] < [2]: move the adjustor plate to the left.
Tighten the two screws loosened in step 5.
Re-attach the small cover and then raise the handle B5 (
Close the right front cover.
Set SP2-109-003 (Test Pattern: Pattern Selection) to “14 (Trimming Area)” and copy five sheets of simplex print again.
Calculate the skew amount “[1] - [2]” on the output images to make sure the skew amount is improved.
Calculation Formula:
A3 Skew = ([1] – [2]) / 293 x 200
DLT Skew = ([1] – [2]) / 275.4 x 200
Criteria:
If the skew of all the five copies are within 0.0±0.2 (Recommend Threshold), it is considered skew has been improved.
