5.1 Print Alignment
This Alignment compensates mechanical variations causing bi-directional misalignment on printing at
various resolutions. Carry out the below procedures to improve the alignments in the sequence of Paper,
Thick Paper, Very Thick Paper, Carton.
1) With the cover open, hold 【USER1】+【OFFLINE】+【USER2】 while powering on the printer. It beeps
once after implementing the paper detection action, while LED”DATA” blinks and other LEDs light up,
to indicate the activation of Calibrations mode.
2) Close the cover, the printer resets. Press 【USER1】, the printer beeps once. Press 【USER2】, the
printer beeps again, which indicates the bidirectional test and vertical alignment mode is activated.
3) Load an A4 paper. The printer will automatically print as below:
Vertical Alignment
【USER1】=OK 【USER2】=Next 【OFFLINE】=Exit
Paper
4) Press 【USER2】 to scroll to setting items: Paper, Thick Paper, Very Thick Paper, Carton. Press
【USER1】 to enter the item you want to set. Press 【USER1】 to select corresponding DPI.
5) In each resolution, same patterns of “|”s are printed bi-directionally. Visually check the alignment of the
2 lines. Press 【USER1】 or 【USER2】 to fine tune the 2
nd
line by a step of 1/180 inch to the left or
right, respectively, against the 1
st
line. Up to +30 to –30 adjustable steps are allowed.
6) When satisfied with the alignment, press 【OFFLINE】. It prints out: Save settings? Yes. Press
【USER1】 to store the alignment settings.
7) Press 【OFFLINE】, the printer resets and switches to the Calibration menu.
8) Switch off the printer to exit from Calibration menu.
Note:
It is advised to adjust all the alignments but not just some of them, so as to achieve satisfying print quality.
5.2 Setting TOF
1) With the cover open, hold 【USER1】+【OFFLINE】+【USER2】 while powering on the printer. It beeps
once after implementing the paper detection action, while LED”DATA” blinks and other LEDs light up,
to indicate the activation of Calibrations mode.
