Over time, mechanical wear or printhead replacement can cause misalignment, leading to blurred or double-printed text. The program executes a precise alignment pattern and adjusts firing timing to ensure sharp output.

The adjustment program displays these values—usually as hexadecimal or decimal numbers.

Check the boxes next to Main pad counter and Platen pad counter , then click the Check button. The software will query the printer and display how many points/prints have been logged.
