Checking Vertical Print Alignment (V-ALMNT)
The V-ALMNT function corrects the vertical character displacement
that sometimes occurs with bidirectional printing. Characters printed
from left to right are not aligned with characters printed from right to
left as shown below:
This example shows how printing looks
when characters are vertically
misaligned. Note that the left
margin is not straight.
If you notice misaligned printing, use the following procedure to
check and correct the vertical print alignment.
Procedure
Make sure that continuous forms paper is loaded in the printer. If
possible, use forms at least 216 mm (8.5 inches) wide for 80-column
printers or 356 mm (14 inches) wide for 136-column printers to avoid
printing on the platen. However, you can also use letter or A4 size
forms if you set the WIDTH option in MENU1 to 8 inches. See the
section Changing MENU1 and MENU2 Items and Options for details.
Then proceed as follows to check and correct vertical print alignment:
1. Enter setup mode.
Press the ↑MICRO button and the ↓MICRO button simultane-
ously until the printer beeps. Wait for the printer to stop printing
