TOP OF FORM

PITCH

Lets you enter and exit the top-of-form mode so you can adjust the top-of-form position. The top-of-form position is where printing begins on each page.

If your printing is too high or low on the page, you can reset the top-of-form position by entering top-of-form mode and using micro feed to adjust the position. The printer remembers this new top-of-form position even after it is turned off, reset, or initialized. Also, the printer remembers separate top-of-form positions for the front and rear tractors.

See the section on adjusting the top-of-form position in Chapter 2.

Lets you select the characters per inch for printing. Push the button until the light appears next to your preference. (Your software setting overrides this setting.)

PAPER SELECT FRONT/REAR

Lets you select the front or rear tractor. If you have been using paper loaded on one tractor, first remove the printed output before pressing this button to switch the tractor. When you switch between tractors, the paper already loaded in the printer is fed backward to the standby position and the paper on the newly selected tractor is loaded.

Caution:

Never use the FRONT/REAR button when labels are loaded in the printer. Al ways tear off any printed pages or excess paper so you don’t feed more than one page backward through the printer.
