Adjustment Procedures
15. Measure how short or long the comb pattern printed by counting the
number of dot rows needed to reach the perforation, or the number of dot
rows that printed beyond the perforation.
NOTE: You can use the long bars to count the dot rows quickly. There
are three dot rows between each long bar, so each long bar
increases the number of dot rows by four. You can also tear off
a small piece of the comb pattern from the beginning of the
pattern and use it as a ruler to help you measure the dot rows
required either to reach the perforation or back up to it.

23. Using the " or A key, adjust the XX DOTS value up or down by the
number of dots you counted in step 15 (If the comb pattern stopped short
of the perforation, increase the number of dots. If the comb pattern
printed beyond the perforation, decrease the number of dots.)
24. Press ENTER to select the new number of dots as the active value. (The
asterisk that appears tells you that it is now the active value.)
25. Press CLEAR to place the printer offline.

of form.
