= SUMMARY =

Many dot-matrix printers do not exactly align their carriage passes when printing in bidirectional mode.

This is usually not noticeable except when printing a document that contains vertical lines.

Most printers allow bidirectional printing to be disabled, and some printers, such as the Star Micronics XB-2410 and the Panasonic KX-P1124, allow the alignment to be fine tuned.

Refer to the printer’s manual for more information on bidirectional printing and alignment.
