APPENDIX
To adjust, use the FEED switch to select the adjustment pattern from the
printout with the smallest gap between the first printing pass and the return
printing pass. Press the FEED switch once to specify the first adjustment
pattern, twice to specify the second adjustment pattern, and so on up to seven
times to specify the seventh adjustment pattern.
Press and hold the FEED switch the last time you press the switch.
(For example, if you want to select the fourth adjustment pattern, press the
FEED switch three times. Then, press and hold the FEED switch until the long
buzzer sounds.)
There are only seven adjustment patterns. The buzzer will sound each time the
FEED switch is pressed. However, if you press the FEED switch more than
seven times, a warning alert will sound.
After setting the adjustment pattern, a printout with the selected adjustment
pattern highlighted and the message Adjust Completed! will be printed.

After the printout is printed, the printer settings will be entered into the
nonvolatile memory of the printer.
When the settings are entered into memory, the long buzzer sounds once more,
and the dot alignment mode is complete.
Note: While the long buzzer is sounding, the printer settings are entered into
the nonvolatile memory. Do not turn the power off. If the power is
turned off while the printer settings are being entered into the nonvola-
tile memory, all of the memory switch settings will be reset.
