Adjusting character (bidirectional) alignment

Occasionally you may want to adjust the character alignment (also called bidirectional alignment) on your printer. The following steps illustrate how to adjust the alignment of the print wires.

Notes:

•Make sure continuous forms are loaded in the printer.

•Make sure the factory default setting for the Uni‑Dir Printing menu option is set to Off (bidirectional).

•Make sure the default macro is set to Disabled. For more information, see “Forms Macro options” on page 50.

1Turn the printer off.

2Open the control panel cover to access layer 2.

3Press and hold Pitch while turning the printer on.
