Aligning Preprinted Forms

When you print on preprinted forms, paper alignment is critical. To align
a preprinted form in the printer, use the following procedure:

1. With the printer idle, press the Setup button on the control panel to

access the Setup menu. Turn the Select-dial until the POPUP
parameter appears. Hold down the Alt button and turn the Select-
dial until On appears; then release the Alt button. Press the Setup
button again.

2. Load the preprinted form into the printer.

3. Press the Ready button to disable printing and then turn the Select-dial

as needed to align the first print line on the form with the top edge of
the ribbon shield. Then, press the Ready button again.

4. Press the Setup button to access the Setup menu. Turn the Select-

dial until the LFT MAR parameter appears on the display.

5. While holding down the Alt button, turn the Select-dial as needed to

position the printhead over the first print position on the form. Then,
release the Alt button.

6. Press the Setup button again.
