“ENTER SWITCH UNLOCKED” briefly displays. (If “LOCKED” 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.
12. Press ENTER until the Paper Out Adjustment test starts. The comb
pattern will print until the display shows “LOAD PAPER” and the audible
alarm sounds.
13. Open the platen and move the paper up with the vertical position knob
and examine the area of the page perforation.
If a long bar just meets the perforation, the paper out adjustment distance
is correct, skip to step 26. (1 or 2 dot rows above the perforation is OK; 5
to 7 dot rows above or any dots below the perforation mean adjustment of
the Paper Out Dots value is required.)
If the comb pattern stopped short of the perforation or printed beyond the
perforation, go to step 14.
14. 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.
15. Close the platen.
16. Press CLEAR to remove the fault condition.

>. The top line of the display will show “Paper Out Dots” and the
bottom line will show the current setting for the number of dots.
