BIDIRECTIONAL TEST/ADJUSTMENT MODE This mode is used to adjust the alignment of the print head on successive
bidirectional passes. After a period of some months, your printer may work
itself out of alignment on left and right printing passes. This will be most
evident in NLQ printing. This mode will probably be used very rarely.
1. Turn the printer off and then turn it on again while holding down the
( sE~r=&CT ) and ( ON LINE > buttons. The printer will then print
something like the following: __

CURRENT 0 : ////////////////////////////////////////////////// -
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 ( stpf&c’ )and (PAPER FEED) buttons.
TheC SEpf&CT
) button will move the second pass to the left. The
(PAPER FEED) button will move the second pass to the right.
4. When the two passes are aligned with each other to form one continuous
line, the bidirectional alignment test is completed.
5. To save the corrected value and to exit from this mode, press the (PITCH
button.
