Adjusting the Top-of-Form Position
The top-of-form position is the vertical position on the page where the printer starts printing. If the printout appears too high or low on the page, you can use this function to adjust the top-of-form position.
Follow these steps to adjust the top-of-form position:
Note:|
The factory set default for the top-of-form position is set as shown below.
PR2: 4.2 mm WNI4915: 9.8 mm ESC/P (PLQ-20/PLQ-20M) or ESC/P2 (PLQ-20D/PLQ-20DM) and IBM PPDS: 8.5 mm This mode can be used even when the printer cover is open.
If you wish to change the top-of-form position in PR40+, make sure that you set the TOF position for PR40+ to Off.
Your top-of-form position setting remains in effect until you change it, even if you turn off the printer.
The top margin setting made in some application software overrides the top-of-form position setting you make with this function. If necessary, adjust the top-of-form position in your software.
Prepare an A4 size sheet of paper before using this function.
