TO ADJUST PRINT OUT:

Your print out to the screen and to the printer should be already set up, but for some reason you would like to change the setting, you can do the following:

1. Load your program per above instruction.
2. Click on DATA then select DISPLAY SETTINGS (this is to set display at the screen). Now display screen should be open. Make sure ACTIVATED and PASS FAIL MODE have a mark at their boxes, if not just click on those boxes. Now you can adjust TAB STOP by typing in the tab numbers you want. NOTE: Tab stop always should have a number in its box.
3. Now click on OK to save the changes you just made.
4. To change printer setting (after program is loaded), you also need to select DATA then click on PRINTER SETTINGS.
