Note: In this example for alignment group A, 16 comes closest to forming a straight line.

Using the same Up, Down and Enter buttons used in step 4, change the value for the letter displayed on the printer LCD, and then press Enter to select it. The next alignment letter will be shown until you have set all the alignment values for the page.

The location and orientation of the USB port on your computer may be different from the one shown.
