Paper Handling

Line Feed/Form Feed
Use the line feed/form feed function to move paper forward. This function is valid
whenever the printer is not receiving or printing data and has no fault. Pressing the
LF button advances the paper one line. Pressing the FF/Load button feeds one sheet
of paper.
Except using the Park button for unloading paper or using the Top-of-Form Adjust-
ment mode for fine-adjusting the Top-of-Form position, you are not allowed to exe-
cute “reverse” feed from the control panel. To feed paper backward, manually rotate
the platen knob. Remember that the Top-of-Form will slip from the original setting.
Top-of-Form Adjustment
NOTE:
For Top-of-Form definition, see the previous section “Print Area Defini-
tion”.
The Top-of-Form adjustment is available for single sheets or continuous forms fed
by the push-tractor. The adjustment is reflected to the Top-of-Form setting of Macro
1 or Macro 2 currently selected from the control panel.
NOTE:
This adjustment is not available for continuous forms fed by the pull-tractor.
You can adjust the Top-of-Form value within the range from 0 to 99/60 inches.
NOTE:
The horizontal embossed rib under the red cursor on the print head carriage
corresponds to the base line of the characters to be printed.
