vertical lines should be straight. If they are somewhat jagged, with
the individual dots offset to the right and left, this is called “dot
slalom” (Figure 6-6). Dot slalom signifies that the print gap is too
large (the larger the letter, the wider the print gap). Decrease the
Forms Thickness setting one position and run sub-test 15 again.
When the printer is adjusted correctly, the vertical lines will be
straight up and down.

If the gap between the paper and the platen is too small, ink may
smudge on the paper. If this happens, pull out the spring plunger knob,
move the lever one position towards the maximum thickness setting
“N,” and release the knob. Run sub-test 15 again until the smudging
clears. The best adjustment is to set the print gap as tight as possible
without ink smudging.
