LETTER QUALITY mode and HIGH-SPEED mode, with a beep sound for confirmation.
Top of Form Adjustment Mode
The top of form setting determines the margin between the top of paper and the first printed line
(the top margin).
In the ONLINE mode, press the LF/FF key for about 3 seconds to enter the top of form adjustment
mode. The ONLINE and POWER LED will blink alternating.
Use the PARK/LOAD and LF/FF keys to alter the top of form setting:
PARK/LOAD: Increase the top of form by 1/60 inch. You can increase the margin to a maximum
of +60 increments (+60/60 inch) from the factory setting.
NOTE
Your application software usually sets your top margin. You shouldn’t need to change the
top of form setting very often.
NOTE
The printer can only print DRAFT font in the HIGH-SPEED mode. If you need any other
font listed in the SETUP MENU SYSTEM, please change to the LETTER QUALITY mode.
Please note that push button selections do override menu settings.
