Forms Handling 3-21
3.7 Heavy Forms Adjustment
The Heavy Forms feature allows the printhead to be positioned horizontally on the form to
avoid labels, paper perforations or other variations in form thickness that can cause paper
handling issues.
This feature becomes active when the paper moves more than 0.5 inches.
The default location of the printhead is 2 inches from the left side of the printer.
To change the location of the printhead from the default value, follow these steps:
1. Load form in printer and open Keypad Door.
2. Press Menu key to access M2 Forms Control.
3. Press Feature ▼ key to access the Heavy Forms feature.
4. The value in the display represents the location of the printhead for form feeds and
paper advances over 0.5”.
5. Press the Value keys to change this setting.
For example: A label is located on the form from 3 to 5 inches from the left edge of the
form. Set the Heavy Form feature at 1.5 inches or 6.5 inches to insure that the
printhead and ribbon guide is away from the label during high speed paper moves. The
feature may also be set to avoid paper staples on the pin drive margins of the forms.
If the entire form is jamming, set this value to 9.8 inches to keep the printhead from the
perforation folds (paper tents) during form feeding.
