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, showing itself most obviously in graphics printing. This mode will therefore be used very rarely.

1 Turn the printer off and then turn it on again while holding down the ‘~=/t% and C~m~u=Xbuttons. The printer will then print something like the following:

*** DOT-ADJUSTMENT SETTING ***

SLQ,LQ 12

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.

3The vertical lines are in fact composed of three lines, the top and bottom being printed on one pass of the print head, and the middle on a pass in the opposite direction.

4To adjust the printing, use the rSB and ?!EYFE~buttons.

5The ‘WE% button will move the middle line to the left (as shown by the number by the side of the lines). The ‘-PEERFEE;button will perform the opposite function.

6When the three vertical lines are aligned with each other to form one continuous line, the bidirectional alignment test is completed.

7To change the mode for which the bidirectional adjustment is performed, press the ON LINE button. This will cycle between “SLQ, LQ”, “DRAFT”, and “DRAFT COND”.
