Setting the top of form position

The current position of paper loaded in the printer is automatically set as the top of the page whenever you turn power on. You can also use the following procedure at any time to specify a different position as the top of the page.

o Make sure the printer is off-line (ON LINE indicator is not lit).

o Use the micro feed operations (see above) to move the paper so that the print head is located where you want the new top of form position to be.

o While holding down PRINT MODE, press SET/EJECT/PARK. The printer will beep once to indicate that a new top of form position has been set.

Tear-off function (fanfold paper)

This procedure feeds fanfold paper to a position where it can be torn off easily. o Check to make sure that the printer is on -line.

o Press the SET/EJECT/PARK button to perform the long tear-off operation, or press the LINE FEED button to perform the short tear-off operation.

The long tear-off operation causes the paper to be fed automatically so the tear assist edge of the printer cover is aligned with t he paper’s next perforation.

The short tear-off operation causes the paper to be fed automatically so the tear assist edge of the printer cover is located just below the last line printed on the paper.

o Pull the paper against the tear assist edge to tear it off.

o When you resume printing, the printer reverse feeds the paper to its former position.
