13. Remove any slack in the paper and adjust the top-of-form
position (the position where the printer will start printing)
by pressing the
LF/FF
feature. (To use the micro adjust feature, see "Adjusting
the Top-of-Form Position" on page 22.) The printer will
start printing at the current position without advancing
the paper.
Caution:
Never use the knob to remove slack in the paper or to
adjust the top-of-form position while the printer is turned
on; this may damage the printer or cause it to lose the
top-of-form position. The knob can be used when the
the printer is turned off only.
Always remove any slack from the paper; otherwise
print quality may be reduced.
14. Attach the printer cover and close the paper guide cover.
Note:
Always close the printer cover before printing. The printer does
not print when the cover is open.
15. You may need to check and change the printer driver
settings. When the printer receives data, it automatically
loads the paper and starts printing. As shown below, the
printed pages are fed over the paper guide toward the back
of the printer.
