Adjusting The Top-Of-Form Position - Epson LQ-780 User Manual

5. Press the Pause button to exit the Micro Adjust mode.
When you resume printing, the printer automatically feeds the paper back to the top-of-form
position and begins printing.

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.
Follow these steps to adjust the top-of-form position:
Note:
❏ Your top-of-form position setting remains in effect until you change it, even if you turn off the
printer.
❏ The top margin setting made in some application software overrides the top-of-form position
setting you make with the Micro Adjust function. If necessary, adjust the top-of-form position in
your software.
1. Load paper. Press the Load/Eject button to advance paper to the current top-of-form position.
Adjust the position to determine the paper feed position or the paper cut position.
2. Hold down the Pause button for about three seconds. The Pause light starts flashing and the
printer enters the Micro Adjust mode.
3. Press the d button to move the top-of-form position down on the page, or press the u button
to move the top-of-form position up on the page.
Note:
❏ 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 also beeps and stops
moving the paper briefly. You can use the default setting as a reference point when adjusting
the top-of-form position.
4. After you set the top-of-form position, press the Pause button to exit the Micro Adjust mode.
Note:
The top-of-form position setting is applied the next time that the paper is fed.
