Shifting The Scanning Beam

This option enables you to shift the scanning beam horizontally to
the left or right. The left edge of the beam should be approximately
0.13 inches (3.3 mm) from the left edge of the tear bar. After you
set this value, save it as part of the configuration for future use.

The value range is from -99 to 99. The default is 0. Lower values
will move the beam to the left.
