Print position: Difference between revisions

Print position refers to where the image is placed on the printed page. On digital duplicators, the print position can be adjusted after a Stencil has been made.

Print position is a ``translation`` along two axes (for rotation, see Skew). In terminology the feed edge is the top of the page, regardless of paper orientation or the orientation of the printed image on it. So the axis along the paper feed (from the feed elevator to the exit tray) is referred to as the “vertical” direction, and the perpendicular axis (from the front of the machine to the rear of it) is the “horizontal” direction.

Adjustment

Calibration

It is useful periodically to recalibrate the base print position (AKA where things print without any adjustments). Sometimes it’s even necessary to recalibrate, when the print position falls outside of the adjustable range (AKA when the position adjustments are maxed out and the print still isn’t in the correct spot).
