Lower the forms thickness lever. Set
it to match the paper thickness (refer
to the note on the shuttle cover).
Do not set the forms thickness lever too
tightly; excessive friction can cause paper
jams, ribbon jams with potential for ribbon
damage, smeared ink, or wavy print.
Press Set Top Of Form. One of the
following occurs:
If there is no data in the buffer (you
have not yet sent a print job to the
printer), the paper moves downward
to the top-of-form position.
To verify the top-of-form setting, run
one of the operator print tests. (See
page 63.) Check the placement of
the characters on the printout. Your
application software may also
provide a forms alignment check to
verify the placement of the
characters.
If the character placement is correct,
continue with step 9. Otherwise, go
back to step 2.
If there is data in the buffer (such as
after a paper jam), the printer moves
to the position where printing
stopped. Continue with step 9.
After a paper jam, it may be necessary to
reprint one or more pages.
