Setting of The First Dot Position on the Left Side

Print positions often change gradually when you use the printer over long periods of time.
This adjust function allows you to adjust these positions by fine-tuning the Left Margin
origin.
To enter Adjustment Function:
a) Make sure that the tractors are loaded with continuous feed paper and that the pa-
per select lever is set forward.
b) Turn the printer off.
c) Turn the printer back on while pressing the TEAR key.
Do not press any keys alone or in combination, except for pressing the TEAR key alone when
turning the printer on, to avoid initiating unexpected tests not permitted for the user.
