(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 presently 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.
