❏ Vertical alignment mode

The vertical alignment mode serves to compensate for the slippage of the vertical printing
positions, that occurs due to individual differences and age distortion of the printer.

This mode has two features: print start alignment as A-MODE and bidirectional print alignment
as B-MODE.  The print start adjustment aligns the print position of two different print modes at
the left margin.  While the bidirectional print adjustment aligns the vertical dot mis-positioning
within one print mode in bidirectional printing.  Because of their correlation, always set the
bidirectional alignment after the print start adjustment.

The print mode used for these adjustments is categorized as 11 and 12 groups (A-MODE 1 to
11,  B-MODE 0 to 11) that differ in printing speed.  By aligning characters with the typical
character mode of each group, the character modes within the group are automatically adjusted,
e.g. Draft pica printing mode belongs to MODE 0 group.

Operation and printing pattern 
Before performing the adjustment mode, make sure that the ribbon cassette and at least 10-inch
wide paper are properly installed in the printer.

been set correctly.
