Settings for a correct graphic print

When a printer is installed, the graphic print emitted by the alignment program may not be 
correctly laid out.
This problem depends on the type of print resolution (print quality) set:
To resolve the problem, intervene on the file “Printer.ini”, found in the path:
c:\program files\alignment
To correctly set the print resolution information in the file “Printer.ini”, proceed as follows:
a) From the aligner logo page, press the keys “Shift” + “F4” (in this moment, if the file “Prin-
ter.ini” does not exist, it is created; if it exists, the lines specified below are added to it)
The printer emits a print with a line showing the name of the printer, preceded by the string 
“Printer” (between square brackets, e.g. [Printer.HP Deskjet 920c]), and then a line with a 
numerical description.
The numerical description depends on the setting of the print quality of the printer:
Example:
Fast Draft
Draft
Fast Normal
Normal
Etc.
The format of the numerical description depends on the type of printer installed and could 
be (for example):
_300=300
or
_3=-3
or
_-3=-3
b) Exit the alignment program.
c) Open the file “Printer.ini”, found in the path “C:\program files\Alignment”
In the file “Printer.ini”, there could also be the names of other printer models, with their 
respective settings.
d) Identify the line corresponding to the one just printed
(generally the last line, at the end of the file).
e) Set the line with a numerical description, on the basis of the following cases:
• Case with value expressed as resolution (e.g. _300=300)
It is not necessary to modify the setting
• Case with value expressed as indicative of the resolution (e.g. _3=-3 or _-3=-3)
In this case, there are two possibilities:
1. if it is available, you can read the print resolution value on the page where the print qua-
lity is set, i.e. check on the above-mentioned screen if the number of “dpi” referring to the 
current setting is shown. Example: if we have installed an HP Deskjet 5652 printer, and we 
have set the print quality as “Fast Normal” on the screen, we can read “600dpi” next to the 
choice made. Consequently, if the following inscription is shown in the file “Printer.ini”:
[Printer.HP Deskjet 5600 Series]
_-3=-3
we must modify and save the numerical description as follows:
[Printer.HP Deskjet 5600 Series]
-3=600
We have removed the underlining symbol (the first character) and kept the rest unaltered; 
we have replaced the characters after “=” with the resolution value read.
2. if the print resolution value is not available on the page where the print quality is set, you
must proceed with attempts, using the following logical reasoning.
