Whenyour printing happen to be with a double shadowlike this:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Youcanchange the mode to Uni-direction. Ifthe problem is gone and the printing is like the following picture, then we are sure it is a bi-direction problem.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. Howto solve a Bi-direction problem.

We can change bi-direction quality by changing the numberof “ Bi-direction H Adjust--一”The way to getto“ Bi-direction H Adjust一“ is pressing following buttons.

We Start from the below steps:

 

 

 

 


Buttonspress:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Then you see the“ Bi-direction H Adjust一“. Generally the first number is“+4“

 

 

 

You can change the number by pressing the following two buttons:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


choose a numberthen press“ enter“   Then the number is Saved.

press     to go back to its home page(oryou can not send a picture to print)

 

 

 

 

Save the numberto be“+4"first. Print a picture in bi-direction mode. Then save the numberto be “+5“ and printthe same picture again beside thefirst picture. Change the numberto be“+4““+5 “+6““+7““+8““+9“ one afteranotherand repeat printing.

Atlast printthe same picture inUni-direction beside those pictures.

Thetotal 7 pictures would belike this:

 

 

Findtheonefrombi-directionpictures whichlooks mostlike uni-direction and save the number For example, the“+7“looks mostlike uni-direction. Then save“ bi-direction HAdjust“ to be

+7“ and then go backto home page.

 

 

 

 

 

3. How to save this number for next downloading.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Whenweproducedthis printer, we had already saved all the right settings. You can download itfirst. Ifit doesn'twork since the number is changed, you can find the numberyourselfby

the frontinstructions.
