loading position

memory
The printer, like a computer, has a memory. When you print a file
from a computer, the contents of the file are transferred quickly from
the computer's memory to the printer's memory. The printer then
prints information from its own memory at a much slower rate. This
way of printing frees the computer to do other work while the
printer is still working. The printer memory is sometimes called the
buffer memory or input buffer.
micro-adjustment
A feature that adjusts the paper loading and short tear-off positions
by the smallest possible increments.
