Star Micronics NX-2415II 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. This malalignment appears 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 (SET/EJECT) and (ON LINE) buttons. The printer will print something like the following:

xxx DOT ADJUS’1’MENT SETTING **8

LQ o : 1111111111111111111111111111111111111111

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

3.Toadjust the printing, usethe(SET/EJECT) and(PAPERFEED>buttons. The (SET/EJECT) button will move the second pass to the left. The

(PAPER FEED) button will move the second pass to the right.

Repeat the process for all print modes.
