Changing Default Settings
Follow the steps below to enter the default-setting mode and
change the printer's default settings.
Note:
To print the language selection and default-setting mode
instructions, you need three sheets of letter- or A4-size paper or
three pages of continuous paper that is at least 11 inches
(279 mm) long and 8.3 inches (210 mm) wide.
If you use single sheets, you need to load a new sheet of paper
each time the printer ejects a printed sheet from the paper guide.
1. Make sure paper is loaded and the printer is turned off.

properly aligned, you can use the printer's bidirectional
adjustment mode to correct this problem.
During bidirectional adjustment, the printer prints three
sheets of alignment patterns, labeled High Speed Draft, Draft,
and NLQ (near letter quality). As described below, you select
the best alignment pattern from each sheet.
