K2

First, the print head works toword to the left. Based on K1, lines of other colors is vertical to the black line
at “0” place. If it is at “0” place, the current color need not to be adjusted. If C2 is vertical to black line at “5”
place, it will add 5 on the original figure in the blank corresponding to the C2 print head. If the blue line is
vertical to black line at “-5” place, add ‘-5” on the original figure in the blank corresponding to the C2 print
head.

According to above ways, adjust K2,C1,C2,M1,M2,Y1,Y2, and save it. Click “ Right adjustment”, the way
 is same as the “ left adjustment”. Adjust the deviation and save it.

In this step, to indentify the right and the left is very important. Two directions must be
identified.

3.6.6 Y printing adjustment is following:

（1）Select printing media, different printing media has different feeding capacity.
（2）PASS：Wait—Wait pass.
（3）Automatic Pass: 1# line is red. 2# is the line because of the overlap of red line and black line. 3# is
black line. Based on 2# line, if the red line and black line overlap, it means the feeding capacity is
good. If the black line on 2# is above the red line, it means the feeding capacity will be increased.
Increase numbers in the blank corresponding to 4 PASS till the red line and black line overlaps. If
the black line is under the red line, it means the feeding capacity is reduced.
