If your printing begins too high or low on the page, you can 
use the micro adjust feature to adjust the top-of-form position 
as described below.

Caution:
Never use the knob to adjust the top-of-form position; 
this may damage the printer or cause it to lose the top-
of-form position.

Note:

❏

Your top-of-form position setting remains in effect until you 
change it, even if you turn off the printer.

❏

The top margin setting made in some application software 
overrides the top-of-form position setting you make with the 
micro adjust feature. If necessary, adjust the top-of-form position 
using your software.

1. Make sure the printer is turned on and paper is loaded.

2. If you are using a push tractor, press the 

Load/Eject

 button 

to advance the paper to the current top-of-form position. If 
necessary, lift up the printer cover so you can see the paper 
position.

3. Hold down the 

Pause

 button for about three seconds. The 

Pause

 light starts flashing and the printer enters the micro 

adjust mode.

4. Press the 

Load/Eject

 

 

U 

and 

LF/FF

 

 

D

 buttons to move the 

top-of-form position up or down on the page.

Note:

❏

The printer has a minimum and a maximum top-of-form 
position. If you try to adjust it beyond these limits, the printer 
beeps and stops moving the paper.

❏

When the paper reaches the default top-of-form position, the 
printer also beeps and stops moving the paper briefly. You 
can use the default setting as a reference point when 
adjusting the top-of-form position.

5. Press the 

Pause

 button to exit micro adjust mode.

If you use the front or rear push tractor, you can use the tear-
off feature to advance your continuous paper to the printer’s 
tear-off edge when you finish printing. You can then easily 
tear off the printed document. 

As described below, you can use the tear-off feature in two 
ways: manually by pressing the printer’s 

Tear Off/Bin

 button, 

or automatically by turning on the auto tear-off mode. The 

Tear Off/Bin

 light flashes when the paper is in the tear-off 

position.

Caution:
Never use the tear-off feature to feed continuous 
paper with labels backward; they may come off the 
backing sheet and jam the printer. 

Never reverse feed continuous paper loaded on the 
pull tractor using the Tear Off/Bin button; the paper 
may come off the pull tractor and jam the printer.

After the printer finishes printing your document, press the 

Tear Off/Bin

 button to advance the paper to the tear-off edge.

Note:
If the Tear Off/Bin light is flashing, the paper is in the tear-off position. 
If you press the Tear Off/Bin button, the printer feeds your paper to 
the next top-of-form position.

To automatically advance your printed documents to the tear-
off position, you need to turn on the auto tear-off mode and 
select the appropriate page length for continuous paper in the 
default-setting mode. For instructions, see “Using the 
Default-Setting Mode” on page 13.

When auto tear-off is on, the printer automatically advances 
the paper to the tear-off position whenever it receives a full 
page of data or a form feed command followed by no more 
data.

If your paper’s perforation is not aligned with the tear-off 
edge, you can use the micro adjust feature to move the 
perforation to the tear-off position. Follow the steps below.

Caution:
Never use the knob to adjust the tear-off position; this 
may damage the printer or cause it to lose the tear-off 
position.
