Feeding and Positioning Paper

Print Area Definition

•

Top-of-Form: This value defines the distance between the edge of the paper and the 
place where you allow the printing to begin (position of line number 1). You can adjust 
this distance according to the condition of your paper (for example, pre-printed forms). 
When you load the paper, the printer feeds the paper to this position, waiting for print-
ing commands.

•

Form Length: Set the corresponding Set-Up option (FORM LENGTH) according to 
the actual physical page length (distance between two perforations for continuous 
forms). This will allow the printer to know exactly where the print head is and to posi-
tion it at the same position when a form feed occurs.

•

Top line: This is the line where the printing actually starts. To define a top margin, select 
the position of this line within Set-Up mode (TOP MARGIN option). Example: In the 
following picture, TOP MRGN option is set to 3/72 inch.

•

Bottom line: This is the line where the printing actually stops. To define a bottom mar-
gin, select the number of this line within Set-Up mode (BOTTOM MARGIN option). 
Example: In the following picture, BOTTOM MARGIN option is set to 147/42 inch.

•

Print area: Print area defined by the corresponding Set-Up options: Form Length, Top-
of-Form, Top Margin, and Bottom Margin.

•

Paper perforation: The perforation defines the physical page length.
