Star Micronics NX-2430 Printer User Manual


 
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, appearing most visibly during graphics printing.
This mode will probably be used very rarely.
