Adjusting The Top-Of-Form Position - Epson DFX-9000 Reference Manual

Adjusting the top-of-form position

The top-of-form position is the position to which the printer
feeds the paper when it loads it or performs a form feed. This
position is important because it determines where the printing
begins on each page. If the printing is too high or low on the
page, you can adjust the top-of-form position either
permanently or temporarily depending on how you use the Top
of Form button.
When you want to permanently change the top-of-form
position, you enter the top-of-form mode using the Top of
Form control panel button. The printer remembers the new
top-of-form position even after the printer is turned off,
reset, or initialized. (The printer remembers separate
top-of-form positions for the front and rear tractors.)
When you want to temporarily change the top-of-form
position, you adjust the position using the Micro Feed
buttons without entering top-of-form mode. The printer
remembers the temporary top-of-form position until the
next time you load paper, switch tractors, or turn off the
printer.
You can set the top-of-form position from 4.2 mm (0.17 inch) to
33.9 mm (1.33 inch) below the top edge of the paper. The default
setting is 8.5 mm (0.33 inch).
Follow the steps below to reset (permanently change) the
top-of-form position.
Caution:
c
To adjust the top-of-form position when you are printing on
labels, continuous forms with labels, or overlapping multi-part
forms, use the Micro Feedu button only; do not enter the
top-of-form mode. Never feed labels backward through the
printer.
