Adjusting The Top-Of-Form Position - Epson DFX-5000+ User Manual

Note:
The printing position (based on the fop-of-form position) is controlled
by your software. To change the print position, adjust your software's
print settings. Use the following procedure only if
not allow print position adjustment.
Adjusting the fop-of-form position
The top-of-form position is the position the printer feeds the
paper to when it loads the paper 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 during pause status 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. See "Adjusting the printing
position" later in this chapter.
You can set the top-of-form position from 2.6 mm (0.1 inches)
below the top edge of the paper. The factory setting is 5.8 mm
(0.2 inches).
The following steps show you how to reset (permanently
change) the top-of-form position.
