Printing on Special Media Caution: Never use the knob on the left side of the printer to adjust the loading or tear-off positions. This would damage your printer and cause it to lose the top-of-form position. Using the Micro Adjust Buttons The Micro Adjust U and Micro Adjust D buttons on your printer's control panel allow you to make quick adjustments to your paper's loading and tear-off positions. Adjust the paper's loading position if you notice that printing is too high or low on the page and the position cannot be corrected in your software program. You can even set separate loading positions for continuous paper, manually fed paper, or sheet-feeder fed paper. If you're using continuous paper and the perforation does not align with the printer's tear-off edge when you're done printing, you can use these buttons to adjust the tear-off position. Note: The loading position you select remains in effect until you change it again, even when you turn off the printer. Adjusting the Loading Position Follow these steps to adjust the loading position of your paper: 1. If you have continuous and single sheet paper loaded at the same time, the loading position you adjust is determined by the setting of the paper release lever. For continuous paper, set it to the continuous paper position. For paper in the sheet feeder or the manual feeder, set it to the single sheet position. 2. Press the Load/Eject button to load a sheet of paper or load the first continuous sheet to the top-of-form position. 3. Press the Micro Adjust U button to feed paper backward or the Micro Adjust D button to feed paper forward. Press either button as many times as necessary to adjust the position. When the adjustment reaches the maximum setting for your printer, it does not move further. 4. Follow the instructions in Chapters 1 or 2 as necessary to send a print job. 3-20
