3. Printer Operation using the Operation Panel EO13-330063.5 TOF After Booting Menu• Page alignment when “Precise print mode” is selectedIn the page alignment when “Precise print mode” is selected, first, the loaded media is fed to find thefirst print start position that passes the sensor. Next, the media is fed until the print start position isaligned with the Print Head position. Therefore, compared to the “Paper saving mode”, which will bedescribed later, the amount of media ejected is large. However, with “Precise print mode” selected,feed accuracy will increase because the media is fed while the sensor threshold value is beingmonitored all the time.Before page alignmentPrint HeadSensorAfter a page alignment is initiated, the first print startposition is detected.

Next, it is fed until the next print start position lyingbehind the print head is aligned to the Print Head position. Compared to the “Precise print mode”, theamount of media ejected is smaller, eventually waste of paper is saved. With “Paper saving mode”selected, the media is fed based on the media settings sent from the printer driver. Therefore, thefeed accuracy decreases compared to the “Precise print mode”.Page alignmentPrint HeadSensorThe media is fed until the print startposition right behind the Print Head isaligned to the Print Head Position.After a page alignment is initiated, the first print startposition is detected.
