Checking Vertical Print Alignment (V-ALMNT)
The V-ALMNT function corrects the vertical character displacement that
sometimes occurs with bidirectional printing. Characters printed from left to
right are not aligned with characters printed from right to left as shown
below:
This example shows how printing looks
when characters are vertically
misaligned. Note that the left
margin is not straight.
If you notice misaligned printing, use the following procedure to check and
correct the vertical print alignment.
Procedure
Make sure that continuous forms paper is loaded in the printer. If possible,
use forms at least 216 mm (8.5 inches) wide for 80 column printers or
356mm (14inches) wide for 136 colmun prnters to avoid printing on the
platen.
However, you can also use letter or A4 size forms if you set the WIDTH
option in MENU1 to 8 inches.
See the section
Changing MENU1 and MENU2 Options
for details. Then
proceed as follows to check and correct vertical print alignment:
1.
Enter setup mode.
2.
Select the V-ALMNT function.
Repeatedly press the LOAD button or the LF/FF button to position
the red cursor under V-ALMNT, then press the MENU button or
the TEAR OFF button to select the V-ALMNT function. The
printer prints the help menu then starts printing rows of parallel bars
using letter quality speed.
