When you resume printing, the printer automatically feeds the

Adjusting the top-of-form position

The top-of-form position is the position on the page where the
printer starts printing. If your printing appears too high or low
on the page, you can use the Micro Adjust function to adjust
the top-of-form position, as described below. Your top-of-form
position setting remains in effect until you change it, even if you
turn off the printer.
Never use the knob to adjust the top-of-form position;
this may damage the printer or cause it to lose the
top-of-form position.

The printer has a minimum and a maximum top-of-form
position. If you try to adjust it beyond these limits, the
printer beeps and stops moving the paper.
When the paper reaches the default top-of-form
position, the printer beeps and stops moving the paper
briefly. You can use this setting as a reference point
when adjusting the position.
The top margin setting made in some software
overrides the top-of-form position setting you make
with the Micro Adjust function.

Loading Special Papers

Follow the guidelines in this section when loading continuous
multipart forms, single-sheet multipart forms, labels, and
envelopes.

Continuous multipart forms

Except for setting the paper-thickness lever, you load
continuous multipart forms the same way as ordinary
continuous paper. Just keep the following in mind:
Be sure your multipart forms do not exceed 0.018 inch
(0.46 mm) in thickness.
Do not load paper that is curled or has been folded.
Thick paper, such as multipart forms with five or six parts,
requires a straight paper path to avoid paper jams. Load
thick paper in the front or bottom slots.
