ADJUSTING PRINT QUALITY
At some time you may find that the quality of the printing is not what you
want. You may run test prints and then make the printing lighter or darker,
as desired.
Begin by running an engine test print, which consists of a pattern of vertical
lines. To do this, make sure there is paper in the paper cassette and turn the
printer on, if necessary. Now look on the right hand side of the printer about
halfway back. You will see a small hole.
Take a &nted pencil and gently press it into the hole. The alarm will sound
and the screen will display
ENGINE TEST.
Examine the printed sheet that comes from the printer to determine whether
the density of the print is satisfactory, and the density is uniform throughout
the printed page.
If you want to adjust the print density, follow this procedure:
l Open the printer.
: At the left front you will see a green knurled dial, marked with the odd
numbers from 1 through 9.
