Horizontal Positioning Of The Paper - Genicom 5050 Quick Reference Manual

HORIZONTAL POSITIONING OF THE PAPER

5000 Series Quick Reference Guide
The column indicator label (5050/5100 models) is located on the ribbon
shield just below the left upper tractor. Complete the following steps for
proper paper positioning.
1. Check the column indicator label located on the ribbon shield to
determine if the paper needs to be realigned horizontally.
2. If a left margin is desired, it can be set electronically through either
the control panel pushbuttons or a command sent by the host.
•
The marks on the label are set up for paper with a 1/2-inch
perforation strip.
•
Aligning the edge of the paper with the first mark will cause the
first column to print immediately after the perforation strip.
Aligning the edge of the paper with the mark labeled 1.0 will
cause the first column to print 1 inch from the edge. If printing
will be at 6 characters per inch, this position is column 6 on the
paper after the perforation strip.
3. Turn the green horizontal paper adjustment knob (5050/5100
models) to align the paper as needed. This positions the paper for the
first physical print column.
The lower tractors are automatically readjusted to maintain proper
alignment.
