The Forms
Top of Form (TOF) is the place on the sheet where the first line of printing begins.

Important!
Do not turn the platen knob (on the right hand side of the printer). Doing this will always change the TOF setting. If you must use the platen knob to remove paper jams or to move the paper, be sure to turn the printer off first.
If necessary, the TOF can be reset back to the factory default by pressing the QUIET/TOF button with paper parked out of the printer, or by turning on the printer while holding the QUIET/TOF and PARK buttons.
!Your software may print the first line above or below the Top of Form setting. If this happens, you must reset
the Top of Form according to you software’s needs.
