1.3.3 Using the Bidirectional Adjustment Mode

If the vertical lines in the printout are not properly aligned, you can use the printer’s bidirectional adjustment mode to correct this problem. See Chapter 5 for instructions on performing the bidirectional adjustment.

1.3.4Changing Default Settings

You can change the printer’s default settings using the default-setting mode. To enter the default-setting mode, hold down the Pitch button and press the Operate button to turn on the printer. The printer prints the language selection instructions. Select the language you want, and then press the Font button to print the default-setting mode instructions. The printed instructions list the settings you can change, describe how to change them, and show you how the control panel lights help you make settings.
