Changing Default Settings

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

To print the language selection and default setting mode instructions, you need 5 sheets of letter- or

A4-size single-sheet paper or 5 pages of continuous paper. If you use single sheets, you need to load a new sheet each time the printer ejects a printed sheet.

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

Whenever you turn off the printer, wait at least 5 seconds before turning it back on; otherwise you may damage the printer.

2.While holding down the Font button, turn on the printer. The printer enters the default-setting mode and prints the language selection instructions.

3.If you need to select a different language, press the Font button until the Font lights indicate the language you want, as described in the language selection instructions.

4.Press the Tear Off/Bin button to confirm your language selection and print the current default settings.

5.If you do not need to change any settings, go to step 6.

If you want to change any of the default settings, press the Tear Off/Bin button to print the instructions (three pages) in the language you selected.

Follow these instructions to change the default settings using the buttons on the printer’s control panel.

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

6.When you finish, turn off the printer and exit the default setting mode. The current settings remain in effect until you change them again.

Bidirectional Alignment

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.

To complete the steps below, you need 5 single sheets or 5 pages of continuous paper. 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.

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

Whenever you turn off the printer, wait at least 5 seconds before turning it back on; otherwise you may damage the printer.
