Adjusting Color on the Trailing Edge of Sheets (iPF6300S)

Solution
If printed sheets are affected by banding in different colors by the trailing edge (about 20–30 mm (0.8–1.2 in) from the edge), try adjusting the feed amount of the trailing edge of sheets.
IMPORTANT
- This adjustment is only possible when feeding paper from the Top Paper Feed Slot that can be set up with a margin on the trailing edge of 3 mm (0.12 in). Paper that does not allow a margin of 3 mm on the trailing edge is automatically ejected, and the adjustment is not available.
NOTE
- We recommend using the type of paper you use most often for adjustment.
- For banding in different colors over the entire printed area of sheets or rolls (not only at the trailing edge of sheets), try adjusting the overall feed amount.
