This is caused when mechanical parts of the printer get out of alignment. This
happens only rarely and you may never experience it at all throughout the life
of the printer. If you do have problems, use the following procedure to correct it.
❏
Turn on the printer and insert a piece of paper.
❏
Turn off printer power.
❏
While holding down the control panel’s FORWARD and REVERSE
buttons, turn the printer back on to enter the Dot Alignment Adjust Mode,
which is indicator by a flashing
POWER indicator flashes.
Entering the Dot Alignment Adjust Mode causes seven blocks to be printed,
each of which indicates a dot alignment setting, as shown below. An asterisk
to the left of the blocks indicates which block is currently selected.
❏
Use FORWARD to specify the block that appears to have the best aligned
characters. Press FORWARD once to specify the first block, twice to
specify the second block, and so on up to seven times to specify the seventh
block.
Warning beep will sound if you press
FORWARD more than seven times.
❏
After specifying a block, press REVERSE to register your selection and
exit the Dot Alignment Adjust Mode.
