Tips for using continuous paper

You can adjust the top-of-form position temporarily. Open the printer cover and turn the gear marked by + and - signs to adjust the position This adjustment is lost when you turn off the printer or feed the paper backward to the paper-park position by pressing the FORM FEED and FONT buttons at the same time.

If you want to change the top-of-form position permanently, adjust it with the default-setting mode.

Each time you turn on the printer with paper loaded, it reverses the continuous paper to the paper-park position and then advances it to the next top-of-form. Always remove your printed sheets before you turn off the printer to keep the top-of-form position accurate.
