Top of Form (TOF)

Top of Form (TOF) sets the print start position. The factory default is 1" from the top.

The TOF can be changed in increments of 1/144", for a single print job or set to a new default. The overall amount of adjustment is limited to avoid paper jams.

The first line prints at the red line of the plastic paper shield (1) on the printhead.
