tractor feed holes (the process direction). The horizontal adjustment moves the point of origin on a line that is at 90° (perpendicular) to the forms tractor feed holes. See Figure 21 on page 71.
Be aware that the printed output can be rotated when printed.
Imagine that your sample page shows that the text is printing too high and too far to the left in relation to the preprinted form. To correct this situation, increase the vertical and horizontal positions (to move the point of origin down and to the right). Figure 22 shows the result of changing the vertical position to +7 and the horizontal position to +6. (The ®gure is not drawn to scale.)
