Operation Tip: Top of Form

!If you turn the platen knob when the printer is turned on, you will cause the Top of Form to mis-align. Always

turn the printer off before turning the platen knob!

!Always determine the status of the Forms Tear-Off menu setting BEFORE setting the Top of Form. Refer to

“Using Your Printer, Top of Form, Forms Tear-Off Status (ON or OFF).”

Top of Form sets the print start position for the printer. It is adjustable in increments of 1/144 of an inch. The amount of adjustment is limited to avoid paper jams.

The Top of Form may be left at the factory default (1 inch), changed for a single print job, or set to a new (permanent) default.

The first line prints at the red line of the plastic paper shield

(1) on the printhead.

The Top of Form and Forms Tear-Off settings of your printer interact.

How you set the Top of Form depends on the status of the Forms Tear-Off menu setting.

For more information, refer to “Using Your Printer, Top of Form (TOF).”
