[Auto Duplex Adjustment]
Overview
Configure settings to perform Auto Duplex Adjustment using the actual image of a job.
Normally, adjustment is done using [Both Sides Adj.] of this system. However, the actual image has the greater coverage (printing percentage) than a test chart, so the paper stretch rate changes, which may cause a deviation between the front and back positions.
In such a case, use this function to re-adjust the front and back positions.
NOTICE
- If the front/back position adjustment function is enabled even when the front and back positions are adjusted by this function to print a job, the adjustment value will be updated. If this function is set, it is recommend to set [Concurrent Execution of BothSidesAdj.] and [Period. Both Sides Auto Adj.] to [OFF].
Tips
- Image Controller is required to use this function. For details, refer to What Is the PS Plug-in Driver?.
Tips
- The front/back position adjustment value is updated only for the paper tray output by this function.
- The adjustment value is applied to the next job after [Auto Duplex Adjustment] was completed.
- Print crop marks on the actual image of a job, and adjust the front and back positions. If there are multiple pages, all of them are printed, so it is recommended to select only the target page.
- Adjustment is made based on the top page. If a job contains an actual image of which the coverage is significantly different from others, misalignment may occur between the front and back positions.
- The [Auto Duplex Adjustment] chart is ejected to the Secondary (sub) tray of the finisher. The Secondary (sub) tray to which a chart is output is automatically selected in the order of proximity to the machine so that it can be output. If there is no Secondary (sub) tray that can be output, a chart is output according to the output destination setting of the job.
