NOTE

For single-sheet printing, the paper lever must be in the middle position.

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 either a single print job, or all print jobs. 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.

CAUTION!

If you turn the platen knob when the printer is not at Top of Form, the TOF will misalign. Always feed the paper to TOF before turning the platen knob.

NOTE

>Your software may print the first line of print above or below where TOF is set. You may need to adjust the TOF to meet your software’s requirements.

>The Top of Form and Forms Tear-Off settings of your printer interact. How you set the Top of Form depends on whether Forms Tear-Offis ON (set to 500 ms, 1 sec, or 2 sec) or OFF (the factory default setting).
