ADJUSTING TOF POSITION

Use the following procedure to set TOF to accord with the reference position (6.35 mm (0.25 in)). The reference position refers to the first line of the paper i.e. the position to which the printer feeds the paper when automatically loading the paper.

2.Set the Paper Type lever to the required paper type.

3.When continuous forms are used, place the paper on the Pin Tractor.

For cut sheet mode, do not insert the paper at this stage.

In cut sheet manual feeding mode, press the FF/LOAD button and place the paper on the Paper Tray.
