Adjusting the Loading Position
The loading position is the point where the paper stops when you
load paper using the LOAD/EJECT button. This position is important
because it determines where the printing begins on the page. If the
printing is too high or too low on the page, change the loading
position using the micro-adjustment feature as described below.
CAUTION: Never use the platen knob to feed paper
l
after turning on the printer. (If you need to use the
platen knob, first turn off the power.) When you need to
adjust the loading position, always use the following
procedure.

Make sure that the printer is turned on and that paper (single
sheet or continuous) is ready for loading.
Press the LOAD/EJECT button to feed paper to the loading
position. Then press and hold down the ON LINE button until
the beeper sounds once and the ON LINE light begins to blink.
Press the FORM FEED button to feed the paper forward or the
LINE FEED button to feed the paper backward. When you have
set the desired loading position, you can begin printing; the ON
LINE light automatically stops blinking.
Note: You can use the FORM FEED and LINE FEED buttons to
adjust the loading position only while the ON LINE light is
blinking.
