Is there a way to adjust the print position for duplex printing? I am trying to achieve perfectly aligned front-to-back printing but one side is ~1/16 - 1/8" offset both horizontally and vertically from the other side. This makes it impossible to duplex print and then cut out perfectly aligned pieces, such as cards. This problem is consistent in both printing from Tray 2 and manually printing each side separately from Tray 1. I could not find a way to make any adjustments in the settings.

From the control panel of the printer there should be a menu called Tray Management and under there is a sub menu Image Adjust. This is used to fine tune placement of images on the page.

Thank you, that was very helpful, didn't think to look under Tray Management. After some trial and error, it appears that I was able to adjust the settings to a proper front/back alignment.
