The Ricoh MP series color copiers (such as the MP C3300, MP C4500, or MP C2550) all put out good-quality color copies and prints. However, since the copiers use a different drum for each color (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) the different colors can get out of alignment with each other occasionally. If you notice that some of the colors don't line up correctly when printing a color image, you can usually fix this problem easily by running the color registration adjustment.
1. Go into User Tools
Press the User Tools button on the copier's operation panel (typically located to the upper left of the display screen).
2. Go to Maintenance
From the choices that appear, select Maintenance by pressing it on the touch screen.
3. Choose Color Registration
You'll see two options on the Maintenance menu. Choose the second one, Color Registration.
4. Confirm your choice
A message will appear asking you to confirm that you want to adjust the color registration. Press OK.
5. Wait
The color registration adjustment takes a little while to complete. Once it has finished, you'll be returned to the Maintenance menu.
6. Exit out of the menu
Press the User Tools button to exit out of the menu.
7. Verify that the alignment is fixed
Make a color copy to confirm that the color alignment has been corrected. If the colors still aren't lined up, or if the color registration adjustment fails, contact your service technician.
