The loading position is the position of the paper after the printer loads it. If your printing appears too high or low on the page, you can change the loading position with the micro-adjust feature as follows:

Note:

Top margin settings made in some application software override adjustments you make to the loading position with the micro adjust feature. If necessary, adjust the loading position in your software.
