In addition to the number of printable lines, which your software may
refer to as page length or form length, you may need to set the top
margin, the bottom margin, and the actual number of lines to be printed
on the page. The cut sheet feeder normally creates a two-line unprintable
top margin. Therefore, if you want a total top margin of six lines (one
inch), set the top margin in your software to four lines. The sheet feeder
usually creates an unprintable bottom margin of about three lines, so to
create a total bottom margin of six lines, set the bottom margin in your
software to three lines. With a total page length of
61
printable lines, for
example, the number of printed lines per page would be 54 (9 inches).
Some software designed only for printing on continuous forms does not
use the form feed command recommended for sheet feeder operation.
The software may not have a sheet feeder setup mode or allow for
margin settings, and may only use line feeds to advance to the next form.
Your sheet feeder can still work with most of these applications. Simply
insert the paper you will be using into the sheet feeder, use the self test to
print out the number of printable lines, and then use that number of lines
as the page length setting in your software. If you change paper sizes,
repeat this process. Your sheet feeder will work as if it were feeding a
continuous form. If your software does not allow you to set the page
length, consult your software manufacturer.
The following is a typical example of a software setup required for
proper operation of your cut sheet feeder. Not all software is set up the
same, so a bit of experimentation may be required before you find the
best equivalent settings to use. To maintain 54 printed lines per page:
