[staffie man]

Hi all
I have a problem with this m/c in duplex mode using df ,duplex to duplex is fine,in platen mode is fine but when copying single sided to duplex the second side has a thin dark line 8mm down and parallel to the lead edge and the registration is off by that amount.Thanks in advance.

Check Copy Settings and set the margin for single->duplex to 0 mm (default is 5 mm).

If the 2nd side registration doesn't cure the problem, I would look at the 2nd side magnification in paper feed direction. The tail end of the original can create a shadow that appears as a very fine line at the tail end of prints (if the magnification is 'reducing') Please remember that a LOWER input number ENLARGES the image in feed direction and a HIGHER setting REDUCES it! This is because the enlargement/reduction in the doc feed is set by the motor speed. (feed direction only). This can be confusing.

In user tools, copy/document server settings/edit that's where you'll find the adjustment Eric has mentioned, I alter this to 0mm on every install I do, and check it on every subsequent call

I also alter this value on every new install. I really don't know why this setting is set to 5 mm. I'm sure the designers in Japan have a reason for this, but I just don't get it...

I think it's for binding purposes, but surely selecting the feature if you want to bind your document is better than having it as default

lol - and they stick with this stupid preset for > 1 decade

We also set this to zero during installation to avoid customer calls.
