HORIZONTAL POSITIONING OF THE PAPER
The column indicator label is located just below the left upper tractor
on the 5050/5100 model. See Figure 2-19. On the 5180 model, the
column indicator is located on the ribbon deck. Use this label as a
guide to position the paper horizontally within the printer. Turn the
horizontal paper adjustment knob to align the paper as needed. This
positions the paper for the first physical print column. On the 5180
model, the horizontal paper adjustment knob is located on the left
just above the paper gap wheel. (See Figure 2-26)
If a left margin is desired, it is set electronically through either the
control panel pushbuttons or a command sent by the host.
The marks on the label are set up for paper with a 1/2-inch
perforation strip.
Aligning the edge of the paper with the first mark, as shown below,
will cause the first column to print immediately after the perforation
strip. Aligning the edge of the paper with the mark labeled 1.0 will
cause the first column to print 1 inch from the edge. Using 6
characters per inch, this position is column 6 on the paper after the
perforation strip.
