noritsu 3501f I have a problem with 8x20 inch panoramic photos, they come out crooked and have a white border.

How can I align or center the image in service mode?

[Dave S]

Check the guides on the paper magazine are set correctly
Also check the gripper pins on the Arm are properly gripping the paper

Do the Paper Centre correction
Do the Arm unit 1 zig zag correction
Do the Exposure Advance Adjustment 1 & 2 (if the length side of the paper is wrong)

What is that zigzag, a configuration?

[Minilab service]

Arm unit 1 zigzagging correction is on printer mechanical adjustment menu.

La corrección de zigzag de la unidad del brazo 1 se encuentra en el menú de ajuste mecánico de la impresora. 

For example, do I need to go to Extension - Maintenance? Or what's the route to get there?

Menu with mechanical adjustments.

Which of these options is for adjusting the paper so that the image is centered?

Exposure Centre Correction (only for the width side of the paper)

I sent a test print, but now how do I adjust it, or how do I know if the print is centered? Or how do I make that adjustment?

Comprueba que las guías del cargador de papel estén bien
ajustadas. También comprueba que los pasadores de agarre del brazo agarren bien el papel

Haz la corrección
del centro del papel Haz la corrección
en zigzag de la unidad de brazo 1 Haz el ajuste de avance de exposición 1 y 2 (si el lado de longitud del papel está mal)

The printout starts off fine, but then it becomes crooked towards the end.

It is best to print panoramic prints from Magazine A, Magazine B tends to be less stable.

Make a Test Print (Paper Magazine A) without Correction Value

Measure between the centre line A and the right hand  edge of the paper. For example on 102mm paper the value needs to be 51mm if it is not that, put a correction into the 102 paper magazine. The value is always half the width of the paper.

Then use the Test Print Confirmation (Paper Magazine A) with Master and Paper Magazine Values to confirm it is correct (51mm for 102mm paper). 

Once this is correct you will need to do the Arm Unit 1 zigzagging correction. See attached PDF
