Select 5 or 6 lines per inch vertical spacing

Select Y for reduced noise on thin documents. Select N for darker print on thick documents.

Select insertion to the TOP EDGE or BOTTOM EDGE of the document.

Select automatic insertion 0, 1 or 2 seconds after placing a document in the input tray or delay insertion until A↑ is pressed to allow more time for aligning documents.

Select to begin printing IMMEDIATELY after the document insertion or delay printing until ENTER is pressed to verify proper alignment.

Select the distance, between -0.80” and 0.80”, from the document top edge to the center of the first print line. Select 0.25” unless needing software compatibility with another printer.

Select CORRECT SKEW to automatically align skewed documents, DETECT SKEW to detect but not align skewed documents, or IGNORE to disable both skew detection and correction.

Select the maximum skew per 4 inches of document width. Treatment of documents with excess skew is set by the next parameter.

If a document has excess skew, ENTER / EJECT KEYS will continue printing if ENTER is pressed or eject the document if EJECT is pressed. AUTOMATIC EJECT will always eject a document with excess skew

NOTE: Many Printer Parameters may be host configured with the HT or other commands. This allows for dynamic reconfiguration on a document by document or line by line basis.
