Changing Top of
Form

With the »Top Of Form« function, you can set the line where print-
ing is to start, the so-called top of form.

A clear paper guard is fitted at
the front on the print head car-
riage. The red line (arrow) is the
position on the current line at
which the characters are print-
ed. This line is very useful when
setting the top of form position
and during general printer op-
eration.

If you are using the "Form Tear-Off" function, you first have to
switch this off in the printer menu.

Should you wish to change the start of printing in the vertical direc-
tion (top of form), proceed as follows:

Transport the continuous paper to the next top of form or insert
a cut sheet and let the printer automatically draw it in. Both
occur on pressing the FF/LOAD button.

Switch the printer OFF LINE by pressing the SEL button; the
SEL 

lamp lights.

Set the top of form by holding down the SHIFT button and simul-
taneously pressing one of the Micro Feed buttons. This will cause
the paper to be transported Up or Down in steps of 1/180 inch.

The top of form chosen is stored once you have released the but-
tons. Switch the printer ON LINE again by pressing the SEL but-
ton.
