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.
The top-of-form position can be set for each emulation.
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 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.

When the Ready light turns on, insert a sheet of A4 paper into the front slot. The printer prints triple H in capitals (HHH) on the current top-of-form position and ejects the sheet.
|
 |
Press the F1/Eject button to move the top-of-form position up on the page, or press the F2 button to move the top-of-form position down on the page. Each time you press the F1/Eject or F2 button, the printer makes a short beep. Pressing these buttons executes micro feed in 0.282 mm (1/90-inch) increments.
|
Note:|
The top-of-form position can be set from 1.0 mm to 33.8 mm in the PR2 mode, ESC/P and IBM PPDS modes, and from 0.0 mm to 33.8 mm in the WNI4915 modes.

 |
Insert a sheet of A4 paper into the front slot. The printer prints triple H in capitals (HHH) on the current top-of-form position and ejects the sheet. You may continue to adjust the position by pressing the F1/Eject and F2 buttons and checking the position by inserting another sheet.

 |
After finishing the adjustment, turn off the printer. The setting does not change even if the printer is turned off.
