cThe display will now show “-I?”.The bars are more
aligned now. Keep using the button and
[button until the two rows are aligned.
You have now aligned the printer in Letter Quality (LQ)
mode. By pressing the [~] button, you can now cor-
rect the dot alignment of the draft mode.
There are five modes where the dot alignment may need
to be corrected: LQ, DRAFT, DRAFT COND (condensed),
GRAPHICS Aand GRAPHICS B. Cycle around these
modes by pressing [~] (“cycling” here means that if
you are in the last mode; GRAPHICS B, and you press
[~], the printer will go back to LQ). The different
modes may have different alignments because of the
way that the printer’s electronics drive the moving parts.
.When you have adjusted all the dot alignments, exit
from the mode by pressing [TR15iT].The printer will
print “*** END ***” and go into rmode.
.Eject the paper and continue with normal printing.
Electronic DIP switches
Conventional printers have aset of small 2-way
switches (Dual In-line Package, hence “DIP”) which you
use to set up various features of the printer which you
want to use every time you turn on the printer. The list
of settings that you can change is given on page 55.
Although the LC24-300 Colour has aMacro function to
allow you to set up some of these “power-on default set-
tings”, (see “Saving Macros” on page 42). However, when
it comes to DIP switches, it is not aconventional printer
.it makes your life much easier.
Instead of poking around with small switches and a
screwdriver, all “switch” settings are made from the
front panel –hence “Electronic DIP switches”. Here’s
how they work:
