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 outlined 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.) You can temporarily change the top of form position by adjusting the position when you are not in the top of form mode or by changing the printing position in the middle of a page (see the next section). The printer remembers the temporary top of form position until the next time you load paper or switch tractors. The following steps show you how to reset the top of form position. Before you start, make sure the printer is turned on and the desired tractor is selected (the corresponding tractor arrow should be lit up). WARNING: To adjust the top of form position when labels are loaded in the printer, use the forward-feeding (top) MICRO FEED button only. Labels must never be fed backward through the printer. 1. Make sure the printer is off line. 2. Press the TOP OF FORM button to enter the top of form mode. The printer beeps once, and the TOP OF FORM light starts flashing. Also, the printer advances the paper so that the top of form position is lined up with the red line on the clear plastic ribbon mask. Loading and Using Paper 2-17
