Star Micronics LC24-20 user manual Dot adjustment mode

Dot adjustment mode

This mode is used to adjust the vertical alignment of text and graphics on successive bi-directional passes.

After a period of time, your printer may work itself out of alignment on left and right printing passes, appearing most visibly during graphics printing. This mode will probably be used very rarely.

1.Turn the printer off and then turn it on again while holding down the I EJECT/PARK I and I ON LINE / buttons. The “dA” message will show on the display, and the printer will then print something like the following:

x * x DOT ,A,DJUSTME7T SETTING 2 * *

LQo : 1,1 111111111 1I i I I i I I I I I I I 1I I I I I I I i I I I i I I

2, The printer will feed the paper forwards and backwards during this operation, allowing you to view the paper for optimum alignment.

3.To adjust the printing, use the I EJECT/PARKI and [ PAPERFEED[ buttons. The [ EJECT/PARKI button will move the second pass to the left. The I PAPERFEEDI button will move the second pass to the right.

LQo : I I ! I I I ; I I ~I I I I I i I ! I I I I I I I I I I I I i I I I I I I i

4.When the two passes are aligned with each other to form one continuous line, the bi-directional alignment test is completed.
