Default Alignment question

THe owners manual says that the rear toe is supposed to be .25" (6mm)

Is that per side? Or is that total toe?

I got at alignment yesterday due to abnormaly accelerated tire wear, and the machine said my car was perfectly in the green at .25" PER SIDE, which would give a .50" total toe correct?

Here's the prinout:

Update- Went to the honda dealership to get the specs from their service manual.

TOTAL TOE is 1/4" (6mm +- 2mm), not per side like I am presently running

This alignment machine has the wrong data!!!! Has anyone heard of machines having the wrong specs?

I'm getting this fixed tomorrow before my tires melt off.

no they are not.

Rear toe on the 04+ is less. I don't have the number off hand, but I will post it when I get home from work.

I'm on my way to the alignment shop this afternoon.... I don't know if the dealer will give me the specs over the phone but I'll give em a try.

Do the alignment shops have the specs or are we expected to give it to them? I've always just handed the car over...

The machines they have are SUPPOSED to have the proper data, but from the looks of it, in my situation, the data was wrong.
