Adjusting the printing start position

The printing start position is the horizontal position on the page where the printer starts printing. If the printout appears too for the left or right on the page, you can use this function to adjust the printing start position.
The print start position can be set for each emulation.
Follow these steps to adjust the printing start position:
Note:
Your printing start position setting remains in effect until you change it, even if you turn off the printer.
Prepare an A4 size sheet of paper before using this function.
Always close the printer cover before printing. The printer does not print when the printer cover is open.
Select the Target Printer Mode which corresponds to the emulation you wish to change setting. See About Your Printer’s Default Settings.
Turn off the printer.
Caution:
Whenever you turn off the printer, wait at least five seconds before turning it back on; otherwise you may damage the printer.
Turn on the printer while holding the Offline and F2 button.
Press the F2 button or the F1/Eject and F2 buttons while the Offline light is flashing.
Buttons to be pressed differ depending on the emulation to be set.

When the Ready light turns on, insert a sheet of A4 paper into the front slot. The printer prints the guide to adjust the printing start position and position patterns.
Press the F1/Eject button for the next pattern or F2 button for the previous pattern to select the printing start position. Each time you press the F1/Eject or F2 button, the printer makes a short beep. The F1/Eject, Offline and F2 lights show the pattern which is selected at that time.
After you select the printing start position, turn off the printer. The setting does not change even if the printer is turned off.
