Aligning Print
When a new form is loaded into the printer for the first time, it may be necessary to adjust where printing begins. This depends upon how the software that controls the printing was written. If the software was written to perform its own character and line spacing relative to the edges of the form, then adjustment may not be necessary. If the print position needs to be adjusted, the following discussion will describe how this is accomplished. Note that the alignment for the selected form is permanently stored in the printer’s memory and does not have to be readjusted each time the form is loaded.
To align print on a particular form, select that form with the FORM SELECT button and then press the ALIGN PRINT button. If the form selected is named “Invoices”, the display would now show the following.
