sometimes occurs with bidirectional printing. Characters printed from left to

right are not aligned with characters printed from right to left as shown

This example shows how printing looks

when characters are vertically

misaligned. Note that the left

margin is not straight.

If you notice misaligned printing, use the following procedure to check and

correct the vertical print alignment.

Procedure

use forms at least 216 mm (8.5 inches) wide for 80 column printers or

356mm (14inches) wide for 136 colmun prnters to avoid printing on the
