guide cover (d).
Note:
Always close the printer cover before printing. The printer does
not print when the cover is open.
10. Turn on the printer. You may need to check and change the
printer driver settings. When the printer receives data, it
automatically loads the paper and starts printing. The
printed pages are fed over the paper guide toward the back
of the printer.
11. After you finish printing, follow the steps in the next section
to tear off your printed document. If the first printed line
on your page appears too high or low, you can fix this by
using the micro adjust feature as described on page 22,
"Adjusting the Top-of-Form Position."
Caution:
Never use the knob 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 printer is turned off
only.
