1 Simple Image Quality
Adjustment (SIQA) Tool
Overview
When to Use the SIQA Tool
Use the SIQA Tool in the following instances:
When image alignment on duplex output requires correction
When within page image density requires uniformity adjustment
Adjustment Procedure Definitions
Auto Alignment Adjustment
The Auto Alignment Adjustment procedure allows for correction of image placement between
side 1 and side 2 images in duplex output. You can store up to 20 alignment adjustment profiles
(Types) for use across all input trays. You can assign a different Type to each of the input trays,
if desired.
Density Uniformity Adjustment
The Density Uniformity Adjustment procedure allows for uniform ink coverage between the
inboard and outboard (see note below) sides of the printed output. Unlike Auto Alignment
Adjustment, the profile you select applies to all input trays.

Image Orientation Definitions
Inboard and outboard are as follows:
On the machine, inboard refers to the rear of the machine (the side farthest from you
as you are using the machine) and outboard refers to the front (the side nearest you).
On the printed output, as you hold the sheet with the top facing up, inboard refers to
the left side of the sheet and outboard refers to the right side. The short black line
indicates the top of the sheet.
