Changing Default Settings

Follow the steps below to enter the default-setting mode and change the printer’s default settings.

Note:

To print the language selection and default-setting mode instructions, you need three sheets of letter- or A4-size single-sheet paper or three pages of continuous paper that is at least 11 inches (279 mm) long and 8.3 inches (210 mm) wide.

If you use single sheets, you need to load a new sheet of paper each time the printer ejects a printed sheet.

You may exit the default-setting mode at any time by turning off the printer when the printer is not printing.

1. Make sure paper is loaded and the printer is turned off.

Caution:

Whenever you turn off the printer, wait at least five seconds before turning it back on; otherwise you may damage the printer.

2.Hold down the Condensed button while you press the Operate button to turn on the printer. The printer enters the default-setting mode and prints the language selection instructions (one page).

3.Press the Font button until the Font lights indicate the language you want, as described in the language selection instructions.

4.Press the Condensed button to print the default-setting mode instructions (two pages) in the language you selected.

The printed instructions list the default settings you can change, describe how to change them, and show you how the control panel lights help you make settings. Follow these instructions to change the default settings using the buttons on the printer’s control panel.

Note:

The arrows on the instruction sheets indicate the printer’s current settings.

5.When you finish making your settings, press the Operate button to turn off the printer and exit the default-setting mode. Any settings you make remain in effect until you change them again.

Aligning Vertical Lines in Your Printout

If you notice that the vertical lines in your printout are not properly aligned, you can use the printer’s bidirectional adjustment mode to correct this problem.

Note:

To complete the steps below, you need four sheets of A3-size single- sheet paper or four pages of continuous paper that are at least

11 inches (279 mm) long and 14.8 inches (376 mm) wide.

If you use single sheets, you need to load a new sheet of paper each time the printer ejects a printed sheet onto the paper guide.

Follow these steps to perform the bidirectional adjustment:

1. Make sure paper is loaded and the printer is turned off.

Caution:

Whenever you turn off the printer, wait at least five seconds before turning it back on; otherwise you may damage the printer.

2.While holding down the Pause button, press the Operate button to turn on the printer. The printer enters the bidirectional adjustment mode and then prints instructions and the first set of alignment patterns.

3.As described in the instructions, compare the alignment patterns and select the pattern with the best alignment.

4.Follow the instructions to print the remaining sets of alignment patterns and select the pattern with the best alignment in each set.

5.After you select the best pattern in the final set of alignment patterns, press the Operate button to turn off the printer and exit the bidirectional adjustment mode. Your selections are saved automatically.
