6.3. Column layout on fanfold paper

 

When fanfold paper of from 4”

to

10”

in width is supplied with the MX-80 Type

I I, the graduations on the scale

can

be

used as the indexes of print column positions

(1 to 80). Alignment of the print start position on fanfold paper with the 1st column position at the extreme left of the scale will facilitate column layout. Accordingly, center the paper by adjusting it to these indexes of the scale.

6.4. Top of form position setting

The term “Top of Form position” is defined as the position in which the first print

line lies on the form, and this position is determined when the power switch is

turned on. Namely, adjust the paper position by the manual

paper

feed knob

so

that the required line position (i.e., the point at which the first

line of the form is

desired to be printed) is at the print head

level. If, at this point,

power

is applied

to

the printer, this line position automatically

becomes the Top of

Form

position.

 

When printing forms, the matchmarks located on both the sprockets facilitate the setting of the Top of Form position on the fanfold paper. To set the Top of Form

position, first enter (or preprint) a mark at a position on the edge of the paper

77mm above the first print line position of the paper, then align this mark with the

matchmarks

on the sprockets by turning the manual paper feed knob. At this point,

turn the

Power Switch on and the Printer will recognize this position as the Top

of

Form

position. Now, the printing can be started from the Top of Form position.

In

case

of

feeding one page of fanfold paper by operating the MX-80 Type II by

the

input

of

FF code, the abovementioned adjustment is effective.
