Set The Top-of-Form
Every time you load paper, you must tell the printer where the top-
of-form (TOF) is. This procedure must be performed the first time
paper is introduced into the printer, and every time new paper is
loaded.

Procedure

1. Be sure the forms thickness lever is lowered. If the printer is off,
set the power switch to I (On).
2. Press ON LINE to place the printer in offline mode. The LCD
will then display "OFFLINE / CONFIG. CONTROL."
3. Press PAPER ADVANCE several times to ensure the paper
feeds properly beyond the tractors and over the lower paper
path. Ensure the paper folds properly in the stacking area.

4. Raise the forms thickness lever as far as it will go. This allows
you to turn the vertical position knob freely to align the top-of-
form.
