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
(near letter quality). As described below, you select the best
alignment pattern from each sheet.
Note:
The setting instructions are printed in the language that you set in the
SelecType mode. If you want to change the language of the setting
instructions, change the language setting in the SelecType mode. See
“Changing the settings in the SelecType mode” on page 98 for
instructions.
Follow these steps to perform the bidirectional adjustment:
1. Make sure paper is loaded, then turn off the printer.

Caution:
Whenever you turn off the printer, wait at least five seconds
before turning it back on; otherwise you may damage the
printer.
2. While holding down the Pause button, turn on the printer.
The printer enters the bidirectional adjustment mode and
then prints instructions and the first set of alignment patterns.
