Pause + POWER switch

Enters printer adjustment mode and prints a multilingual instruction sheet on calibrating the printer. (Paper must be loaded in the printer.) Use this mode only if you are printing from DOS applications. Hold down Pause until the printer feeds a page. To exit printer adjustment mode, press the Pause button and turn off the printer. (If a partial page feeds before you press Pause, press Load/Eject to clear the paper path.)

Using the Default Setting Mode

Additional printer functions are available through the Default setting mode. Because the printer’s factory defaults are designed to meet the needs of almost all users, you rarely need to change the printer functions listed below. If necessary, however, you can turn on the Default setting mode and change the settings using the control panel buttons.

❑Print direction. Specifies how the print head moves across the page. The options are Uni-D, Bi-D, and Auto (default). When Uni-D is on, the print head prints in only one direction to provide the most precise alignment for graphics and text. In Bi-D printing, the print head prints in both directions. Bi-D is faster but the vertical alignment may not be as precise as Uni-D. When Auto is selected, the printer switches automatically between Uni-D and Bi-D as necessary when it receives data.

❑Font and Pitch. Select the built-in printer font and character pitch used as the default. Normally you use your software to select the font and pitch. The default Font and Pitch is Courier 10 cpi (characters per inch).
