9.If you want to save the settings, select Yes by pressing the SetU (Tear Off) button. If you don’t want to save the settings, select No by pressing the SetD (Top of Form) button. The printer exits SelecType mode.

Note:

If you turn off the printer prior to exiting the SelecType mode, any changes you have made are canceled and not saved.

Default-setting Mode

Use the Default-setting mode if you need to adjust the print head position for printing on uneven forms or to choose which control panel buttons to lock when Lock-out mode is turned on. (See page 21 for more information about Lock-out mode.)

Continuous forms with labels

If you are printing on forms of varying thicknesses—for example, a form that includes a label in addition to standard printing—you may need to adjust the Forms w/labels setting. By defining the position of the label, you tell the printer where it needs to raise the print head to accommodate the greater thickness as it prints over the label.

Before you can change the settings for continuous forms with labels, use SelecType as described on page 19 to make sure the Forms w/labels setting is set to On.

Note:

You do not need to change these settings for printing label sheets of uniform thickness.
