Adjustment of feeder trays to correct alignment error of print media in a registration subsystem

A method, non-transitory computer readable medium, and apparatus for automatically adjusting a feeder tray of a printing device are disclosed. For example, the method receives a signal to initiate a feeder tray adjustment routine, wherein the feeder tray adjustment routine determines an amount of lateral adjustment of the feeder tray to eliminate a lateral input error of a print media that is fed to a registration subsystem of the printing device, activates a mechanism to adjust a lateral position of the feeder tray by the amount that is determined, and feeds subsequent print media through the registration subsystem for printing an image on the subsequent print media.

An image forming system includes a sheet conveyance unit, an image forming unit, a fixing unit and a controller. The sheet conveyance unit conveys continuous paper. The image forming unit forms an image on the continuous paper. The fixing unit fixes the image formed on the continuous paper. The controller controls an image forming operation performed by the sheet conveyance unit, the image forming unit and the fixing unit. In a case where a waste paper reduction mode is selected, the controller controls the sheet conveyance unit to stop conveying the continuous paper so that a bottom end of a last image on the continuous paper be at a second stop position on an upper-stream side of a first stop position after the bottom end of the last image passes the fixing unit when ending the image forming operation.
