From each paper source (ASF and cassette), 2 sheets of paper are ejected. The first sheet is
blank, and the left margin correction pattern is printed on the second sheet.

Printing sequence: For detail, see the flowcharts below.
i) A sheet of paper feeds from the ASF, and ejected blank (single-sided printing).
ii) A sheet of paper feeds from the ASF. Nothing is printed on the front side, and the pattern is
printed on the back side (duplex printing).
iii) A sheet of paper feeds from the cassette, and ejected blank (single-sided printing).
iv) A sheet of paper feeds from the cassette. The pattern is printed on both sides of paper
(duplex printing).
A total of 4 sheets are ejected.
After this, set the correction value to the EEPROM in the steps below.

2) Selection of the parameter mode for left margin correction
Press the Resume/Cancel button the specified number of time(s) according to the parameter
mode listed in the table below, then press the Power button.
Each time the Resume/Cancel button is pressed, the Alarm and Power LEDs light alternately,
Alarm in orange and Power in green.

3) Setting of the left margin correction value ("+" means to increase the left margin)
Press the Resume/Cancel button the specified number of time(s) according to the correction value
listed in the table below, then press the Power button.
Number of times the
Resume/Cancel Left margin correction value

After the value is set, the printer returns to the parameter mode selection. Repeat steps 2) and 3)
to adjust the left margin in each parameter mode: "back side of paper fed from the ASF," "front
side of paper fed from the cassette," and "back side of paper fed from the cassette."

4) After the left margin correction in all the parameter modes is completed, press the Resume/Cancel
button 4 times or more in the parameter mode selection, then press the Power button to return to
the service mode menu selection.

8. SPECIAL NOTES ON SERVICING
This section describes the procedures for transporting the printer for returning after repair, etc.

1) In the service mode, press the Power button to finish the mode, and confirm that the paper lifting
plate of the sheet feed unit is raised.

2) Keep the print head and ink tanks installed in the carriage. (See Caution (i) below.)

3) Turn off the printer to securely lock the carriage in the home position. (When the printer is turned
off, the carriage is automatically locked in place.) (See Caution (ii) below.)

Caution: (i) If the print head is removed from the printer and left alone by itself, ink (especially the
pigment black ink) is likely to dry. For this reason, keep the print head installed in the
printer even during transportation.

(ii) Securely lock the carriage in the home position, to prevent the carriage from moving
and applying stress to the carriage flexible cable, or causing ink leakage, during
transportation.

Memo: If the print head must be removed from the printer and transported alone, perform the
following:
a) Attach the protective cap (used when the packing was opened) to the print head (to
protect the print head face from damage due to shocks).
