Z-Axis Adjustment Escape Sequence

Introduction

The Model 8900 Series Printers sense top, left, and right edges plus thickness when a form is loaded. These settings provide the location of printout on the form such as top, bottom, left, and right margins and locations of labels or uneven edges.

Caution: Some forms or form sets may have isolated stick-on labels or some areas that contain more copies than others as illustrated in the following figure. These conditions, if not

! properly handled, can cause the printhead pins to snag on the uneven edges and result in damage to your printhead. To prevent this type of damage, avoid any situation in which the printhead prints across an uneven edge.

If your applications require the use of the types of forms shown in the following figure, you should use Z-axis adjustment escape sequences to handle them.

Note: The 8900 Series Printers make Z-axis adjustments automatically only when forms are initially loaded, power is cycled, or the power-on defaults are reset.
