left edge of the lower forms guide to help feed the form in
straight. Feed the form until the top edge touches both the
left

Note: If you need to adjust the paper downward, adjust at least
five steps beyond where you want the top of form position; then
make your final adjustment in the up direction. You can also use
the Top of Form Alignment Test (see “Top of Form Alignment” on
page 5-4) to print a line of characters to determine more
accurately where you have set the top of form position.
