Adjustment Procedures
5. Tear a four inch square in the manner described above, on every third
sheet, until you have made 3 or 4 holes.
6. If the printer is online, press the ON LINE key to place the printer
offline.
7. Raise the printer cover.
8. On the control panel, press the Y + B keys to unlock the ENTER key.
“ENTER SWITCH UNLOCKED” briefly displays. (If “LOCKED”
displays, simply press Y + B again.)
9. Press the B key. “CONFIG CONTROL” displays.
10. Press the A key. “DIAGNOSTICS” displays.
11. Press B. “DIAGNOSTICS / Printer Tests” displays.
12. Press " until “Paper Out Adj.” displays.
This test will print a vertical “comb” pattern at around column 70, each
long bar separated by three shorter bars. An enlarged example of the
comb pattern is shown below.
13. Press ENTER until the Paper Out Dots test starts. The comb pattern will
print until the display shows “END OF FORMS / LOAD PAPER” and (if
enabled) the audible alarm sounds. If the alarm sounds, press CLEAR to
silence it.
14. Remove the paper from the tractors and examine the area of the page
perforation. (If the alarm sounds when you open the platen, press
CLEAR to silence it.)
If a long bar just meets the perforation, the end of forms adjustment
distance is correct. (1 or 2 dot rows off is OK; 5 to 7 dot rows off is too
much.) Unless you wish to restart the procedure with 6-part paper, you
may stop the test here, and skip to step 27 (See the note at the beginning
of this procedure.)
If the comb pattern stopped short of the perforation or printed beyond the
perforation, go to step 15
