Set Top of Form (TOF) • 58
Use 1Chr Set Pos
You can set and use two different custom Top of Forms:
•Manual Feed (single forms)
• Front Feed (continuous forms).

Front Feed (Continuous Forms)

1. Make sure the printer is set to the Front Feed path.
2. Press SEL, then press LOAD to park the continuous forms.
3. Simultaneously press SHIFT and SEL.
The continuous forms move to the printer’s default TOF position
(1/4-inch [6.4 mm]).
The display reads 1CHR. SET POS.
4. Adjust the print start position as follows:
a. If you are fine tuning the TOF you set for a preprinted form,
you can move the form to the position you last set for Front
Feed 1Chr. Set Pos. by pressing the FF switch.
b. To move the TOF further down on the page (print paper
advances further into the printer):
– In 1/180-inch (0.14 mm) increments: press and hold the
SHIFT switch, then press FF.
– In 10/180-inch (1.41 mm) increments: press and hold the
SHIFT switch, then press SEL.
– One line at a time: press FF.
c. To move the TOF further up on the page (print paper retracts
further out of the printer):
– In 1/180-inch (0.14 mm) increments: press and hold the
SHIFT switch, then press LF.
– In 10/180-inch (1.41 mm) increments: press and hold the
SHIFT switch, then press MODE.
5. Store the TOF position in the printer’s memory:
a. To store the position as the 1Chr. Set Pos setting, press the
SEL switch. The setting will be retained, even if you turn the
printer off, until you use this procedure to change the
setting. This also automatically sets the TOF setting in the
Front Feed group to 1Chr. Set Pos.
Note If you reset the printer to the factory defaults, the 1Chr.
Set Pos you have established will be deleted.
