About the default settings
Print direction
Your printer has three direction settings: Uni-D, Bi-D, and Auto.
Note:
Most software controls this setting. If your software does, you may
never need to set it with the control panel.
Auto switches the printer automatically between bidirectional
(for text data) and unidirectional (for graphics data) printing.
Bi-d causes the print heads to print in both directions. This
provides the fastest printing. If vertical or horizontal lines are
not aligned, align the print heads as shown on page 10-40. If
you can’t use the calibration utility, you will need to align the
print heads using the print head alignment mode.
Uni-d causes the print heads to print in one direction only. This
provides maximum alignment for both graphics and character
printing.
