Paper Handling
Feeding and Positioning Paper
Print Area Definition
• TOF (Top-of-Form):
This value defines the distance between the edge of the paper and the place where you
allow the printing to begin (position of line number 1). You can adjust this distance
according to the condition of your paper (for example, pre-printed forms). When you
load the paper, the printer feeds the paper to this position, waiting for printing
commands.
• L (Form Length):
Set the corresponding Set-Up option (
FORM LENGH ) according to the actual physical
page length (distance between two perforations for continuous forms). This will allow
the printer to know exactly where the print head is and to position it at the same position
when a form feed occurs.
• Top line
1:
This is the line where the printing actually starts. To define a top margin, select the
number of this line within Set-Up mode (
TOP MRGN option). Example: In the
following picture, TOP MRGN option is set to 3 .
• Bottom line
2:
This is the line where the printing actually stops. To define a bottom margin, select the
number of this line within Set-Up mode (
BOTTOM MRG option). Example: In the
following picture, BOTTOM MRG option is set to 50 .
• Left column
3:
This is the column where the printing actually starts. To define a left margin, select the
number of this column within Set-Up mode (
LEFT MARGN option). Example: In the
following picture, LEFT MARGN option is set to 4 .
• Print area
4:
Print area defined by the corresponding Set-Up options: Form Length, Top-of-Form,
Top Margin, and Bottom Margin.
• Paper perforation
5:
The perforation defines the physical page length.
