Caution:

To adjust the fop-of-form position when labels are loaded in the printer, use the forward-feeding (top) MICRO FEED button only; do not enter the top-of-form mode. (See "Adjusting the printing position” later in this chapter.) Never feed labels backward through the printer.

1.Make sure the printer is turned on and the desired tractor is selected (the corresponding tractor arrow should be lit).

2.Press the TOP OF FORM button to enter top-of-form mode. The printer beeps once, and the TOP OF FORM light flashes. Also, the printer advances the paper so that the top-of-form position is lined up with the red line on the clear plastic ribbon protector.

3.Open the top cover.

4.Use the MICRO FEED buttons to feed the paper to the desired top-of-form position. The to pedge of the ribbon protector shows you where the bottom edge of your first line of text will print. This position is based on the first printable line of text. If your software inserts a top margin of five lines, your text will actually print five lines below the top-of-form position.
