Use these to set up to four custom values for the left margin on
forms when you are using manual feed from the platform. This
represents the distance from the left edge of the page to the left
side of the first printed character. Available settings: 0 mm, 5.1
mm [the default], or 45.4 mm. Adjusts within a range of 0 to 45.4
mm (in 1/90 inch [0.26 mm] increments.
Note To use this setting, The corresponding Align 1/ Align 2/
Align 3 / Align 4 setting must be selected for Auto Align
or Auto Align (POW).
Auto Align
When Auto Align is engaged (the printer default), you can use the
front panel switches to change to a different preset left margin
value (Align 1, 2, 3, or 4). The values are set in the menu under
Align1 Pos. Adj., etc.
This lets you quickly switch to another form which requires a
different left margin. See page 11 for more information on using
the front panel to change Align settings.

Available settings: Align 1 [the default], Align 2, Align 3, Align 4,
or Invalid (skew adjustment disabled).

Detects and corrects paper skew when manual feed through the
platform is being used with Auto Align enabled [the default].
Available settings: Valid Level 1, Valid Level 2 [the default], or
Invalid.
Change to Valid Level 1 if you wish the detection to be more
precise.
Change to Invalid if you are experiencing difficulty getting forms to
load into the printer when using preprinted forms with anomalies
