After the color registration chart has printed, do not turn off the printer until the printer motor has stopped running.
Secondly, determine the values
From the lines to the right of the Y (yellow), M (magenta), and C (cyan) pattern, find the values of the straightest lines.
You can also use the densest colors of the grid to find the straightest lines. The colors printed at the highest density are those next to the straightest lines.
If 0 is the value nearest the straightest line, you do not need to adjust the color registration. If the value is not 0', follow the steps below.
