LQ-2180 Revision A 4.1 Overview The adjustment items required for the LQ-2180 are the same as for the LQ-2170. Therefore, see Table 4-1 in the LQ-2170 Service Manual and perform any necessary adjustment after disassembling/assembling the printer. C A U T IO N Though the conditions for each adjustment are the same as for the LQ-2170, the adjustment program used for the LQ-2180 is different. Therefore, observe the instructions given in the following sections. 4.1.1 Pre-operation for the Adjustment Program 1. Get a continuous paper. (136-column paper should be used to avoid printing on the platen.) C A U T IO N „ Do not use cut sheet for the Bi-D adjustment. Since the Bi-D adjustment has to be performed with the top and bottom edges of the sheet firmly set in the paper path, use of cut sheet will not provide accurate adjustment. „ Use single continuous paper. „ Adjustment program for serial dot matrix printer does not run without any paper loaded.
