Operating Procedure
Before starting the procedure below, be sure to set letter-size or A4-size paper in the paper tray
for printing check patterns.
(1) Press the 6 and 5 keys in this order in the initial stage of the maintenance mode. Then press
the 1 key in succession.
The machine displays the "PRINTING" on the LCD and prints the vertical alignment check
pattern of A to D rows (see the next page for a sample printout). Each of A to D rows
consists of #1 through #9 blocks.
The "A No. (1-9)" appears on the LCD.
(2) Check the A row, find which number block shows most indistinct vertical lines, and then
enter that block number.
The "B No. (1-9)" appears on the LCD.
(3) Check the B row, find which number block shows most indistinct vertical lines, and then
enter that block number.
The "C No. (1-9)" appears on the LCD.
(4) In the same way, enter the block number of most indistinct vertical lines for the C and D
rows.
The machine automatically returns to the initial stage of the maintenance mode.
Note: If the 1 or 9 key is pressed in any of steps (2) to (4) above, the machine shows
"PRINTING" on the LCD and prints the vertical alignment check pattern again. Go back to step
(2) and make adjustments again.
