Adjusting the Paper Position
You can adjust the top-of-form position as well as the printing position at any point on the page by using the TOF and Micro Feed buttons. The printer then remembers the new top-of-form position. When you use the optional pull tractor, you can adjust the paper position as described below.

Note:
The printing position (based on the top-of-form position) is controlled by your software. To change the print position, adjust your software’s print settings. Use the following procedure only if your software does not allow print position adjustment.
Adjusting the top-of-form position
The top-of-form position is the position to which the printer feeds the paper when it loads it or performs a form feed. This position is important because it determines where the printing begins on each page. If the printing is too high or low on the page, you can adjust the top-of-form position either permanently or temporarily depending on how you use the TOF button.
TWhen you want to permanently change the top-of-form position, you enter the top-of-form mode using the TOF control panel button. The printer remembers the new top-of-form position even after the printer is turned off, reset, or initialized. (The printer remembers separate top-of-form positions for the front and rear tractors.)
TWhen you want to temporarily change the top-of-form position, you adjust the position using the Micro Feed buttons during pause status without entering top-of-form mode. The printer remembers the temporary top-of-form position until the next time you load paper, switch tractors, or turn off the printer. See “Adjusting the printing position” on page 3-20.
