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.
