Note:
The printing position (based on the top-of-form position) is controlled by your software. To change the print position, adjust your software’s print settings. Use the following procedure only if your software does not allow print position adjustment.
Adjusting the top-of-form positionThe top-of-form position is the position to which the printer feeds the paper when it loads it or performs a form feed. This position is important because it determines where the printing begins on each page. If the printing is too high or low on the page, you can adjust the top-of-form position either permanently or temporarily depending on how you use the Top of Form button.
❏When you want to permanently change the top-of-form position, you enter the top-of-form mode using the Top of Form control panel button. The printer remembers the new top-of-form position even after the printer is turned off, reset, or initialized. (The printer remembers separate top-of-form positions for the front and rear tractors.)
❏When you want to temporarily change the top-of-form position, you adjust the position using the Micro Feed buttons during pause status without entering top-of-form mode. The printer remembers the temporary top-of-form position until the next time you load paper, switch tractors, or turn off the printer.
You can set the top-of-form position from 4.2 mm (0.17 inch) to
33.9mm (1.33 inch) below the top edge of the paper. The factory setting is 8.5 mm (0.33 inch).
Follow the steps below to reset (permanently change) the top-of-form position.
