Dot adjustment mode
This mode is used to adjust the vertical alignment of text and graphics on
successive bi-directional passes.
After a period of time, your printer may work itself out of alignment on left
and right printing passes. This malalignment appears most visibly during
graphics printing. This mode will probably be used very rarely.
1. Turn the printer off and then turn it on again while holding down the
(SET/EJECT) and (ON LINE) buttons. The printer will print something
like the following:
xxx DOT ADJUS’1’MENT SETTING **8
LQ
o :
1111111111111111111111111111111111111111
2. The printer will feed the paper forwards and backwards during this
operation, allowing you to view the paper for optimum alignment.
3. Toadjust theprinting,usethe(SET/EJECT) and(PAPERFEED>buttons.
The (SET/EJECT) button will move the second pass to the left. The
(PAPER FEED) button will move the second pass to the right.

4. When the two passes are aligned with each other to form one continuous
line, the bi-directional alignment test is completed.
5. To change the mode for which the bi-directional adjustment is per-
formed, press the [ON LINE) button. This will cycle through “LQ”,
“DRAFT”, “DRAIT COND”, and “’GRAPHICS”.
Repeat the process for all print modes.
6. To exit from this mode, press the(~~ button.
