Using Micro Adjust

The micro-adjust feature allows you to move paper forward or

backward in 1/180-inch increments. You can use this feature

to adjust the loading, printing, and tear-off positions.

Adjusting the loading position

The loading position is the position of the paper after the

printer loads it automatically. If your printing appears too

high or low on the page, you can change the loading position

with the micro-adjust feature as follows:

Note:

Top margin settings made in some application software

override adjustments you make to the loading position

with the micro adjust feature. If necessary, adjust the

loading position in your software.

1. Make sure the printer is turned on. If necessary, lift up the

printer cover so you can see the paper position.

2. Load either continuous or single-sheet paper. (Press the

Load/Eject

button to load continuous paper or a single-

sheet from the optional cut-sheet feeder.)

3. Hold down the

Pause

button for about three seconds. The

Pause

light starts flashing and the printer enters the micro-

adjust mode.

4. Press the

LF/FF

[

D] button to move the loading position

down on the page, or press the

Load/Eject

[

U] button to

move the loading position up on the page.

Note:

The printer has a minimum and a maximum loading

position. If you try to adjust the loading position beyond

these limits, the printer beeps and stops moving the

paper.

When the paper reaches the factory-set loading position,

the printer beeps and paper feeding pauses briefly. Use

the factory setting as a reference point when adjusting

the loading position.

If you want to eliminate the top margin and print at the

very top of the page, adjust the loading position so that

the top of the paper lines up with the raised line on the

ribbon mask, as shown below.

5. After you set the loading position, press the

Pause

button to

turn off micro-adjust mode.

For both single-sheet and continuous paper, your loading

position setting remains in effect until you change it, even if

you turn off the printer.

Adjusting the printing position

The printing position is the position on the page where the

print head actually prints during a print job. You can change

the current vertical printing position temporarily by using the

micro-adjust feature as described in the steps below.

Note:

Your printing position setting is in effect only until the

next time you load paper or turn off the printer.

1. Make sure that the printer is not printing. If it is, press the

Pause

button to stop printing.

2. Hold down the

Pause

button for about three seconds. The

Pause

light begins flashing and the printer enters the micro-

adjust mode.
