There
are two methods of setting top–of–form. The first method
uses
forward
paper motion and is per
-
formed
with the Forms Thickness Adjustment Lever closed. The second method uses
reverse paper
motion and is performed with the Forms Thickness Adjustment Lever open.
Use
the reverse paper motion method when the forms length setting in the
printer is dif
ferent from the
actual forms length set (for example, when the host sets the forms length for non–standard length
forms).
The reverse paper motion method of setting top–of–form reverse feeds the paper backward a
fixed number of inches and does not use the forms length currently set in the printer.
NOTE:
Do not use the r
everse paper motion method of setting top–of–form for heavy forms
or
peel–off label forms.
