Changing the printer port 27

If you see that your printer requires adjustment, select the box for the mode you want to adjust (by clicking inside it with the mouse or by moving to it by pressing Tab).

Next, select a negative value to shift the lower row left, or a positive value to shift the lines right. The extent of the shift is indicated by the size of the value.

Use the same procedures as you do for other parameters to scroll through the list of settings and select the one you want (see “Changing User Setup Utility parameter settings” on page 18).

After you make an adjustment, you can check its affect on printing by printing a test again.

Repeat the above steps for each mode, if necessary
