Adjusting the Loading Position
The Loading Position
The loading position is the position of the paper when it has
been automatically loaded by the printer.
The loading position is important because it determines where
the printing begins on each page. If the printing is too high or
too low on the page, change the loading position using the
micro-adjustment feature described below.
Separate loading positions can be set for single sheets,
continuous paper, and sheets loaded by the cut sheet feeder.
WARNING: Never use the platen knob for paper
feeding except in case of a paper jam or other paper
feeding problem. Use of the platen knob while the
printer is on may affect the loading and short tear-off
positions. If you need to adjust the loading position,
always use the micro-adjustment feature.
Until this loading position is reset, the printer remembers this
loading position and uses it as a reference point for feeding the
paper.
The micro-adjustment feature moves the paper 1/180th of an
inch at a time to make fine adjustments of the loading position.
Once you have used micro-adjustment to change the loading
position of continuous paper, the printer remembers that
position even after you turn off or initialize the printer.
However, the printer does not remember the loading position
for friction or cut sheet feeder mode.
