Note:

The red line on the ribbon protector can be used as a reference only when you are in the fop-of-form mode. At all other times your fop-of-form position is hidden behind the print ribbon.

5.Press the TOP OF FORM button again to exit top-of-form mode and save your new top-of-form position. Then close the top cover.

Note:

If you enter fop-of-form mode right after loading paper, you can set the loading and fop-of-form positions at the same time. (When you use the optional pull tractor, you cannot adjust the loading position.)

Adjusting the printing position

If you need to adjust the printing position in the middle of a page, or to adjust the top-of-form position when using labels, follow the steps below.

When you move the printing position, you temporarily change the top-of-form position by the same amount. For example, if you adjust the printing in the middle of the page so that it falls a half-inch lower, the next page will begin printing a half-inch lower as well. The printer remembers this temporary top-of-form position until the next time you load paper, switch tractors, or turn off the printer.

1.Start printing your document. When you reach the text that you want to align at a particular spot on the page, press the PAUSE button to stop printing.

2.Use MICRO FEED buttons to adjust the position where you want your next line of text to fall. Press the button once to feed the paper forward or backward in 1/216-inch increments, or hold it down to move the paper continuously.
