Adjustment Method
Use the following steps to perform the adjustments:
1.
Hold down the Pause button while turning on the power. The printer enters adjustment
mode. "Using this mode" and pattern 1 are printed.

Select the number of the most closely aligned columns by pressing the Alt button. The black
Ink Out, color Ink Out, and Paper Out LEDs show the line number currently selected. This
selection advances once each time the Alt button is pressed, and the three LEDs change their
combination of On /Off / Blinking to indicate the selection.

Select the currently indicated number by pressing the Pause button.
The selected number is set, and the next pattern is printed.
