Adjusting Line Misalignment - Canon TM-5300 Online Manual

Adjusting Line Misalignment

If printed lines are misaligned, execute Print head angle adjustment to adjust the print head angle. Print
head angle adjustment requires you to examine a printed test pattern and adjust the angle using the angle
adjustment lever.
Always adjust the print head angle after replacing the print head.
Important
• Because the results of adjustment vary depending on the type of paper used for adjustment, use the
same type of paper as you will use for printing.
• When using cut sheets, do not move the release lever until instructions (guidance) for removing the
paper are displayed.
Moving the release lever during printing or maintenance operations will cause the printer to stop.
