However, the breakoff point does not have to be centered.
Satellite drops, if present, must be forward merging in the
drop stream, joining at the rear of the preceding drop.
(Refer to Figure 6-23 for an illustration of forward-merging
satellites.)
The number of forward merging satellites must be small
(typically three or fewer).
CAUTION:
The print window, useful for reliable printing, will
always be located below the foldback level.
5. Set the nozzle drive midway between the upper and lower
bounds of good print quality determined in step 4. (Refer to
Figure 6-24.) Check that the number of forward merging
satellites, if present, near the breakoff point is three or fewer.
