Printout

properly aligned, you can use the printer's bidirectional
adjustment mode to correct this problem. During bidirectional

sheet.

the following sizes:

perforated border)

The printer enters the bidirectional adjustment mode and

Then select the pattern with the best alignment for each of
the remaining sets of alignment patterns.
4. After you select the best pattern in the final set of alignment
patterns, save your selection by pressing the
button. Then turn off the printer.
