Note: Before you send this command, verify that the top print reference is zero in the
target paper path. One way to do this is to park and then load paper in the target path.
The top edge of the paper should line up with the top of the print head. If not, then set
the top print reference to zero from the menu and save the change to the format
associated with the target paper path. You must once again park and load paper in the
target path in order for the new print reference to take effect.
Next, send a command to set the vertical position-absolute to zero. If you do not do
this, then the printer establishes top-of-form at the current top margin, and form
registration is lost.
