Adjusting the top-of-form position
The top-of-form position is the position to which the printer
feeds the paper when it loads it or performs a form feed. This
position is important because it determines where the printing
begins on each page. If the printing is too high or low on the
page, you can adjust the top-of-form position either
permanently or temporarily depending on how you use the
Top
of Form
button.
❏
When you want to
permanently
change the top-of-form
position, you enter the top-of-form mode using the
Top of
Form
control panel button. The printer remembers the new
top-of-form position even after the printer is turned off,
reset, or initialized. (The printer remembers separate
top-of-form positions for the front and rear tractors.)
❏
When you want to
temporarily
change the top-of-form
position, you adjust the position using the
Micro Feed
buttons without entering top-of-form mode. The printer
remembers the temporary top-of-form position until the
next time you load paper, switch tractors, or turn off the
printer.
You can set the top-of-form position from 4.2 mm (0.17 inch) to
33.9 mm (1.33 inch) below the top edge of the paper. The default
setting is 8.5 mm (0.33 inch).
Follow the steps below to reset (permanently change) the
top-of-form position.
c
Caution:
To adjust the top-of-form position when you are printing on
labels, continuous forms with labels, or overlapping multi-part
forms, use the
Micro Feed
u
button only; do not enter the
top-of-form mode. Never feed labels backward through the
printer.
