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

the remaining sets of alignment patterns.
4. After you select the best pattern in the final set of alignment
patterns, save your selection by turning off the printer.
