Printing the left, right, top and bottom margin check pattern
(1) Switch the machine to the maintenance mode.

chapter to print test patterns.
Tip • The test patterns can also be printed by opening [Filedrgs] on your PC and dragging &
dropping the above file onto the Brother Maintenance USB Printer driver icon.
• <Models not supporting disk printing> Adjustments can also be made in
"mediaadj_BHmini13_Step.prn."
Adjusting the top, left and right margins
(1) Measure the top margin on the printed check pattern 2 and the left and right margins on the
printed check pattern 1.
The upper row of the left and right margins is for printing in 600 dpi, the middle row for
printing in 1,200 dpi, and the lower row for disc printing.
(Example) Top margin: 2.7 mm
Left margin
Right margin
If all the top, left and right margins are within the range from 2.9 to 3.1 mm, adjustment is
