Aligning Vertical Lines in Your Printout
If you notice that the vertical lines in your printout are not
properly aligned, you can use the printer’s bidirectional
adjustment mode to correct this problem.
During bidirectional adjustment, the printer prints three
sheets of alignment patterns, labeled High Speed Draft, Draft,
and NLQ. As described below, you select the best alignment
pattern from each sheet.
Note:
❑
To print the instruction sheet and alignment patterns, you need
four sheets of A4 or letter size paper or four pages of continuous
paper that is at least 279 mm (11 inches) long and 210 mm
(8.27 inches) wide. See Chapter 3 for instructions on loading
continuous paper, or Chapter 4 for instructions on loading single
sheets.
❑
If you use single sheets, you need to load a new sheet of paper each
time the printer ejects a printed sheet from the paper guide.
Follow these steps below to perform bidirectional adjustment:
1. Make sure paper is loaded, then turn off the printer.
2. While holding down the
Pause
button, press the
Operate
button to turn on the printer.
The printer enters the bidirectional adjustment mode and then
prints instructions and the first set of alignment patterns.
3. As described in the instructions, compare the alignment patterns
and select the pattern with the best alignment. Then select the
pattern with the best alignment for each of the remaining sets
of alignment patterns.
4. After you select the best pattern in the final set of alignment
patterns and save your selection by pressing the
Tear Off/Bin
button, press the
Operate
button to turn off the printer, and
exit the bidirectional adjustment mode.
