Aligning Vertical Lines in Your Printout

If you notice that the vertical lines in your printout are not
properly aligned, you can use the printer's bidirectional
adjustment mode to correct this problem.
During bidirectional adjustment, the printer prints three sheets
of alignment patterns, labeled High Speed Draft, Draft, and
NLQ (near letter quality). As described below, you select the
best alignment pattern from each sheet.
Note:

To print the instruction sheet and alignment patterns, you need
four single sheets or four pages of continuous paper of at least the
following sizes:

If you use single sheets, you need to load a new sheet of paper each
time the printer ejects a printed sheet from the paper guide.

2. While holding down the Pause button, press the Operate
