Changing Default Settings
Follow the steps below to enter the default-setting mode and
change the printer’s default settings.
Note:
To print the language selection and default-setting mode instructions,
you need three sheets of letter- or A4-size single-sheet paper or three
pages of continuous paper that is at least 11 inches (279 mm) long
and 8.3 inches (210 mm) wide.
If you use single sheets, you need to load a new sheet of paper each
time the printer ejects a printed sheet.
You may exit the default-setting mode at any time by turning off the
printer when the printer is not printing.
1. Make sure paper is loaded and the printer is turned off.
Caution:
Whenever you turn off the printer, wait at least five
seconds before turning it back on; otherwise you may
damage the printer.
2. Hold down the Condensed button while you press the
Operate button to turn on the printer. The printer enters
the default-setting mode and prints the language selection
instructions (one page).
3. Press the Font button until the Font lights indicate the
language you want, as described in the language selection
instructions.
4. Press the Condensed button to print the default-setting
mode instructions (two pages) in the language you selected.
The printed instructions list the default settings you can
change, describe how to change them, and show you how
the control panel lights help you make settings. Follow these
instructions to change the default settings using the buttons
on the printer’s control panel.
Note:
The arrows on the instruction sheets indicate the printer’s
current settings.
5. When you finish making your settings, press the Operate
button to turn off the printer and exit the default-setting
mode. Any settings you make remain in effect until you
change them again.
Aligning Vertical Lines in Your
Printout
If you notice that the vertical lines in your printout are not
properly aligned, you can use the printer’s bidirectional
adjustment mode to correct this problem.
Note:
To complete the steps below, you need four sheets of A3-size single-
sheet paper or four pages of continuous paper that are at least
11 inches (279 mm) long and 14.8 inches (376 mm) wide.
If you use single sheets, you need to load a new sheet of paper each
time the printer ejects a printed sheet onto the paper guide.
Follow these steps to perform the bidirectional adjustment:
1. Make sure paper is loaded and the printer is turned off.
Caution:
Whenever you turn off the printer, wait at least five
seconds before turning it back on; otherwise you may
damage the printer.
2. While holding down the Pause button, press the Operate
button to turn on the printer. The printer enters the
bidirectional adjustment mode and then prints instructions
and the first set of alignment patterns.
3. As described in the instructions, compare the alignment
patterns and select the pattern with the best alignment.
4. Follow the instructions to print the remaining sets of
alignment patterns and select the pattern with the best
alignment in each set.
5. After you select the best pattern in the final set of alignment
patterns, press the Operate button to turn off the printer
and exit the bidirectional adjustment mode. Your selections
are saved automatically.
