7.1.3. Column layout on fanfold paper

When fanfold paper of from 4” to 10” in width is supplied with the MX-80 F/T

Type II, 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.

7.1.4. 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 S O

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 F/T

Type II

by the input of FF code, the

abovementioned adjustment is

effective.
