Duplexprint, registration, transparencies

Doublesided printing: Instruction via driver.

There are no duplex units for these models. The driver offers a written and pictured advice for manual duplex printing. It´s easy to follow these instructions.

The difference between front and back in direction of print is between zero and 0.5 millimeters, a very good result. Lateral displacement depends on how well you center the sheets and can go up to five millimeters and more.

Color channel registration

If you see white streaks between adjacent colors, the color channel registration is faulty. A channel registration is carried out automatically when switching on the printers. If you are not satisfied with the result you can repeat the procedure via the CP1515n´s menu manually.

CP1215 Registration: No faults.

CP1515n Registration: No faults.

Transparencies

Both printers deliver transparencies in grayscale and color in good quality.
