Epson DFX-5000+ User Manual

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 adjust the top-of-form position either

permanently or temporarily depending on how you use the

TOP OF FORM button.

When you want to permanently change the top-of-form

position, you enter the top-of-form mode using the

TOP OF FORM control panel button. 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.)

When you want to temporarily change the top-of-form

position, you adjust the position using the MICRO FEED

buttons during pause status without entering top-of-form

mode. The printer remembers the temporary top-of-form

position until the next time you load paper, switch tractors,

or turn off the printer. See “Adjusting the printing

position” later in this chapter.

You can set the top-of-form position from 2.6 mm (0.1 inches)

below the top edge of the paper. The factory setting is 5.8 mm

(0.2 inches).

The following steps show you how to reset (permanently

change) the top-of-form position.
