The Top of Form is where the printing begins on the page. The factory setting is 1 inch down from the top of the page.

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

!Use the red line on the plastic paper shield (1)

on the printhead as a

 

guide to where the first

1

line will print..

!The Top of Form and Forms Tear-Off settings of your printer interact. How you set the Top of Form:

2.Press and hold SHIFT while pressing the LF (to set TOF higher on page) or FF/LOAD (to set TOF lower on page).

Forms Tear-Off set to ON:
