 Printing Alignment

This alignment is required when:

. The even-numbered lines and the odd-numbered lines are misaligned in the 

 printing

mode.

● 

The printer mechanism is replaced.

● 

The ROMA board is replaced.

● 

The timing belt is loosened.

The alignment procedure is as follows (see Figure 4-83.):

Step 1:

Step 2:

Step 3:

Step 4:

Step 5:

Step 6:

Step 7:

Step 

Step 9:

Step 10:

Step 1 1:

Remove the cartridge cover, and insert the adjustment cartridge in slot A (see Figure 4-82).

Load continuous paper (width: 15 to 16 inches) into the pull tractor.

Turn the printer power on. The LCD displays 

 Bi-D Adjustment,” and the A and V LEDs blink.

Press the LOAD/EJECT ( 

 ) switch. The LCD displays “PAPER OUT”, and the D LED blinks.

Press 

 so that the paper is loaded. The LCD displays “OFF LINE,” and the   LED blinks.

Press the ON LINE switch (El). The printer enters the menu selection mode,  the LCD displays

 AALL VLQ 

 and the A, V, and 

 blink.

If 

❑ 

is pressed, “1 l“ characters are printed for four lines in the Draft test mode, and the LCD

displays “Draft mode printing.”

If the characters on the odd-numbered lines are shifted to the left when compared with those

on the even-numbered lines, press 

❑ 

to shift the characters to the right. Each time 

❑ 

is

pressed, the alignment value increments (the alignment value is displayed on the LCD as

“T 

 

   the characters on the odd-numbered lines are shifted to the right, press 

❑ 

to

shift the characters to the left. If 

❑ 

is pressed after the alignment value is set, the alignment

value displayed on the LCD is added and “1 l“ characters are printed again for four lines.

When the correct alignment value is set, press 

❑ 

. The LCD displays

“Tar. 

 

 

   

Adjust 

 using either a Philips or standard screw driver, with a thin tip, so that 

 is set

to the target (Tar.) value. When 

 is turned clockwise, the alignment value increments, and

when it is turned counterclockwise, the value decrements.

When 

 is adjusted to the target value, the buzzer wind ring continuously like “Pi-pi-pi,

and the 

 will blink.

Press El. The printer returns to the menu selection mode (Step 5).

If 

❑ 

is pressed, “1 

l“ 

characters are printed for four lines in the 

 test mode, and the LCD

displays 

 mode printing.”

If the characters on the odd-numbered lines are shifted to the left when compared to the

even-numbered lines, press 

❑ 

to shift the characters to the right. Each time 

 is pressed,

the alignment value increments (the alignment value is displayed on the LCD as “T [+ xx]”).

If the characters on the odd-numbered lines are shifted to the right, press 

 to shift the

characters to the left. If 

❑ 

is pressed after the alignment value is set, the alignment value

displayed on the LCD is added and 

 l“ 

characters are printed again for four lines.

When the correct alignment value is set, press El. The LCD displays

“Tar.
