Zoom/Image Shift Adjustment

The magnification and printing position in vertical and horizontal directions can be finely adjusted on both Front side and Back side. Because the adjustment data can be entered directly in percentage terms or in numerical terms to shift, it is convenient for fine adjustment after Scan Meas. adjustment, Gap adjustment or Chart Adjustment or when you have a result of the 2-sided printing at hand.
