TEMPORARILY CHANGING THE TOP OF FORM

CAUTION!

Do not use the platen knob to change the Top of Form. If you turn the platen knob when the printer is not at Top of Form, the TOF will misalign. Always feed the paper to TOF before turning the platen knob!

To move the Top of Form position lower for one page only:

1.Press SEL to deselect the printer.

2.Press LF to lower the position of the Top of Form.

RESETTING TOP OF FORM TO THE FACTORY DEFAULT

The factory default setting for the Top of Form (where the printing should begin) is 1" down from the top of the page.

To reset the Top of Form to the factory default:

1.Remove paper from the paper path.

2.Turn the printer off.

3.Press and hold PARK + QUIET TOF while turning on the printer.

4.Reload paper.

FORMS TEAR-OFF FEATURE

This feature is normally turned off. To use Forms Tear-Off, you must enter the menu and change the setting to the desired time interval (see “Changing the Forms Tear- Off Settings”).

The Forms Tear-Off feature allows a printed continuous forms page to be torn off without wasting paper or adjusting the printer. It can be used for rear feed continuous forms, bottom feed continuous forms (with the optional push tractor installed), or for top feed roll paper (with optional roll paper stand installed).

When the printer is turned on, the paper feeds to the tear-off position.
