Epson 4100 manual Vertical Image Alignment

Operator's Guide 103

VERTICAL IMAGE ALIGNMENT

The configuration menu provides a simple means of making slight compensations in the factory's vertical alignment setting.

The printer is a bidirectional printer, meaning it prints text not only on left- to-right passes of the printhead carriage, but also on right-to-left passes. Vertical alignment simply adjusts the relative timing between bidirectional passes so that consecutive lines line up vertically.

Vertical alignment only affects draft text if “Bi-Directional Graphics/NLQ” in the configuration menu is off. If off, graphics, NLQ text, and text printed as graphics, such as TrueType text, are printed only on left-to-right passes of the printhead carriage.

To check or change vertical alignment, proceed as follows:

1.For a wide carriage printer, make sure that wide (14 7/8 in.) paper is installed in the printer.

2.Enter the configuration menu:

If the printer is off, press FORM FEED while turning on the printer.
