   Increase the top of form by 1/60 inch. You can increase the margin to a maximum   
 
 
of +60 increments (+60/60 inch) from the factory setting. 
NOTE 
Your application software usually sets your top margin. You shouldn’t need to change the
top of form setting very often. 
                                                                       
NOTE 
The printer can only print DRAFT font in the HIGH-SPEED mode. If you need any other 
font listed in the SETUP MENU SYSTEM, please change to the LETTER QUALITY
 mode. 
Please note that push button selections do override menu settings.
