Setting the TOF
This establishes the position of the first print line on each page. The red line and M
character on the ribbon shield show the baseline of the current position and help place
the TOF where it is needed. To activate TOF press SHIFT and TOF together when the
SEL lamp is out.
If you are using a word processor that sets its own top margin, set the TOF for the
topmost line on the page. Otherwise we recommend positioning the top of the page in
line with the top of the plastic ribbon protector, attached to the printhead mechanism;
the first line of printing will then be about one inch from the top of the page.
1. Press the FF/LOAD button to advance the paper into the printer.
2. Press the SEL button so that the lamp goes out.
3. Continuous-form paper/Single Sheet paper: Hold down the SHIFT button and
use the MICRO FEED buttons corresponding to the direction you wish to move
the page. When the paper is in the correct position release both buttons.
4. Press the SEL button to re-select the printer.
When using the MICRO FEED buttons paper is moved in increments of
1
¦180 inch
allowing accurate positioning of the TOF.
