6. Replace the paper guide, if necessary, and replace the printer 
cover. Then close the paper guide cover.

Your Printer’s Default Settings
While you can often set the default settings through your 
application software or printer driver, you may need to change a 
default setting from the printer’s control panel using the default 
setting mode. The table below lists the default settings (in bold) 
and options you can select in this mode.
* These settings take effect only when IBM 2390 Plus emulation is 
selected.
Changing Default Settings
Follow the steps below to enter the default setting mode and 
change the printer’s default settings.
To print the language selection and default setting 
mode instructions, you need 5 sheets of letter- or 
A4-size single-sheet paper or 5 pages of continuous 
paper. If you use single sheets, you need to load a new 
sheet each time the printer ejects a printed sheet.
1. Make sure paper is loaded and the printer is turned off.
Whenever you turn off the printer, wait at least 5 
seconds before turning it back on; otherwise you may 
damage the printer.
2. While holding down the 
Font
 button, turn on the printer. 
The printer enters the default-setting mode and prints the 
language selection instructions.
3. If you need to select a different language, press the 
Font
 
button until the Font lights indicate the language you want, 
as described in the language selection instructions.
4. Press the 
Tear Off/Bin
 button to confirm your language 
selection and print the current default settings. 
5. If you do not need to change any settings, go to step 6. 
If you want to change any of the default settings, press the 
Tear Off/Bin
 button to print the instructions (three pages) 
in the language you selected.
Follow these instructions to change the default settings 
using the buttons on the printer’s control panel.
The arrows on the instruction sheets indicate the 
printer’s current settings.
6. When you finish, turn off the printer and exit the default 
setting mode. The current settings remain in effect until 
you change them again. 
Bidirectional Alignment 
If you notice that the vertical lines in your printout are not 
properly aligned, you can use the printer’s bidirectional 
adjustment mode to correct this problem.
To complete the steps below, you need 5 single sheets 
or 5 pages of continuous paper. If you use single 
sheets, you need to load a new sheet of paper each 
time the printer ejects a printed sheet onto the paper 
guide. 
1. Make sure paper is loaded and the printer is turned off.
Whenever you turn off the printer, wait at least 5 
seconds before turning it back on; otherwise you may 
damage the printer.
