Using Diagnostic Functions

You can also enter hex dump mode by turning off the printer and then turning it back on while pressing ONLINE and LF/FF. Continue pressing the buttons until the printer beeps.

Checking vertical print alignment (V-ALMNT)

V-ALMNT corrects vertical character displacement that may occur in bidirectional printing. Characters printed from left to right and right to left become misaligned as follows:

This example shows how printing looks when characters are vertically misaligned. Note that the left margin is not straight.

Check that continuous forms are loaded. If possible, use forms at least 356 mm (14 inches) wide to avoid printing on the platen. For letter or A4 size, set WIDTH in MENU1 to 8 inches. See “Changing MENU1 and MENU2 Options” on page 8-11. Check and correct vertical alignment as follows:

1.Enter setup mode.

Place the printer offline and then press FONT and MENU simultaneously. Wait for the printer to stop printing and check that the <<FUNCTION>> menu is printed.

Repeatedly press LOCK to position the yellow arrow on the print head beneath V-ALMNT. Then press FONT or MENU to select V-ALMNT. The printer starts printing rows of parallel bars at letter-quality speed.

3.Adjust vertical alignment as follows:

Check the parallel bars. When they are aligned (not jagged), go to step (4). If they are offset to the left, repeatedly press FONT until
