FF (FORM FEED)
Press the FF button during normal operation to load a single
sheet of paper or to advance continuous paper to the next top
of form. You can also press FF to elect a page.
When you are in the default-setting mode, use this button to
change the default settings.
PAPER PARK
If you are using continuous paper, you can press the FF and
FONT buttons at the same time to move the paper back to the
paper-park position.
Caution:
Never feed labels backward; they may peel off their backing
sheet and damage the printer. Use the FF button to feed them
forward.

The Roman and Sans Serif fonts can be scaled (or sized) from
8 to 32 points in 2-point increments, using your application
software or ESC/P 2 commands.
Default-Setting Mode
Your printer has internal settings that control such functions
as top-of-form position and page length. These settings are
called default settings because they take effect each time you
turn on the printer.
For most users, the factory settings are best, but you can
change these settings if necessary. The table below lists all
the settings you can change; the next section tells you how to
change them.

Note:
Most application programs control the printer settings listed here.
If you can use your software program to control the printer, you
may never need to use the default-setting mode. In fact, you may
find that your program settings override your printer's default
settings. See your software documentation for more information.
