(3) To adjust, use the FEED switch to select the adjustment pattern from the printout with the
smallest gap between the first printing pass and the return printing pass. Press the FEED
switch once to specify the first adjustment pattern, twice to specify the second adjustment
pattern, and so on up to seven times to specify the seventh adjustment pattern.
At the number that you want to specify, press and hold (2 seconds) the FEED switch until
the long buzzer sounds. This will specify the setting value. (For example, if you want to
select the eighth pattern from the top, press the FEED switch seven times. Then, at the
eighth pattern, press and hold (2 seconds) the FEED switch until the long buzzer sounds.)
There are only twenty three adjustment patterns. The buzzer will sound each time the FEED
switch is pressed. However, if you press the FEED switch more than twenty three times,
a warning alert will sound.
(4) If there is no matching pattern among the adjustment patterns, perform the “Backward” or
“Forward” operation described below in order to print a printing pattern in which the dot
alignment settings are changed. Then, repeat step (3).
Backward:
Press and hold the FEED switch for 2 to 4 seconds. The buzzer will beep, and the
printer will print a pattern in which the forward is adjusted more leftward of the pres-
ently indicated pattern and the backward is adjusted more rightward.
Forward:
Press and hold the FEED switch for 4 seconds or longer. The buzzer will beep-beep,
and the printer will print a pattern in which the forward is adjusted more rightward
of the presently indicated pattern and the backward is adjusted more leftward.
(5) After selecting the adjustment pattern, the setting value is stored in the non-volatile memory.
A printout similar to the one below with the selected adjustment pattern highlighted and
the message “Adjust Completed!” will be printed.
Note:
Before the printout is printed, the setting value is stored in the non-volatile memory
of the printer after the adjustment pattern has been selected and the long buzzer
sounds. During this period, do not set the power switch to off. If this power switch
is set to off when the setting value is being stored in the non-volatile memory, the
setting value for the adjustment pattern and all of the memory switch settings will
be reset.
(6) The long buzzer sounds once more and the setting value is automatically set.
The adjusting the dot alignment mode is complete.
