    MFP Alignment Chart

    Looking for a chart that you can copy to verify the machine is copying off the glass and ADF accurately. Sharp used to have their own chart, but it's no longer produced and I can't locate it anywhere. They of course want you to use their test mode to check alignment, which is all well and good, but it would also be nice to be able to see the edge lines, center points, etc.

    What does everyone use? And is it something that we can purchase somewhere?

    I use an old chart from my Sharp rep but it's a mess.
    I forgot to ask for a full bleed at the Epson center last time I was there of theses test pages :

        Yeahhhh I'd love some full bleed prints that are professionally done. Me printing a PDF of a centering chart, even on 11x17 and cutting it down, will always be imperfect.

          We used to make own charts from blank page with 6-8 arrows drawn strategically pointing edges of paper. Worked good enough for adjusting ADFs.
          Now I always carry a couple of those that came with new Konica Minolta DFs.
          A tree is known by its fruit, a man by his deeds. A good deed is never lost, he who sows courtesy, reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love.
          Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves, for they shall never cease to be amused.
