TCRU Procedures: Printing and Measuring the Template
Print a template included on the supplied CD-ROM. Select a template whose size is the same with the paper that includes an image whose position you want to adjust on the machine.
Be sure to perform continuous duplex printing for 10 copies (10 sheets).
Measure dimensions of the 6th sheet of paper from the beginning of the template.
When you print the template, arrows are printed in the corners. Use the ruler and magnifying glass to measure the length from the corners of the paper to the peaks of the arrows and from the peaks to the peaks of the arrows. Take measurements in 0.1mm units. Next, write the length in the box on the template.
Use the same method to measure 16 points on side 1 and side 2 of the paper. Write the measured dimensions in the template.
AB: The length from the peak of one arrow to the peak of another arrow
A(y/x): The length from the corner of the paper to the peak of the arrow
Depending on the paper size, the paper transport interval for the first 3-4 sheets and the last 3-4 sheets may differ from the middle sheets when performing continuous duplex printing.
This causes discrepancy in the extent of thermal contraction for paper. Therefore, we recommend measuring the middle sheets when adjusting front/back register for which continuous printing may be performed.
(When printing 10 sheets, the 6th sheet is considered as the final middle sheet.)
