Adjusting the Top of Form Position
The top of form position is the position the printer feeds the paper
to when it loads the paper or performs
a form feed. This position is
important because it determines where the printing begins on each
page.
If the printing is too high or low on the page, you can reset the top
of form position by following the steps below. The printer
remembers the
new top of form position even after the printer is
turned off, reset, or initialized. (The printer remembers separate top
of form positions for the front and rear tractors.)
To temporarily change the top of form position, you can adjust the
position when the printer is not in top of form mode or you change
the printing position in the middle of a page as described in the next
section. The printer remembers the temporary top of form position
until the next time you load paper or switch tractors.
You can set the top of form position, from
0.1
inches
(2.6
mm) to
22
inches
(558.8
mm) below the top edge of paper. The factory
setting is the
0.2
inches
(5.8
mm) position below the top edge of
paper.
