Adjusting Print Positions

To change the supply, print, or margin positions:

1.Press Pause.

2.Press Feed and Clear (at the same time) once to select the supply position, twice to select the print position, and three times to select the margin position. These buttons act as toggle switches between the three (supply, print, and margin) position adjustments.

When you select the position to change, the current setting

is displayed.

3.Press Feed to decrease the current position by one dot or press Feed for two seconds to decrease the value by 10 dots.
