7. Slide the left sprocket unit so that its sprockets match the

position of the holes in the paper and lock the unit in place.

Then slide the right sprocket unit to match the width of

your paper, but do not lock it. Move the paper support

midway between the two sprocket units.

8. Open the sprocket covers, fit the first holes of the paper over

the sprocket pins, and then close the sprocket covers. Slide

the right sprocket unit to remove any slack in the paper and

lock it in place.

9. To separate the incoming paper from the printed paper,

attach the paper guide. Hold it horizontally and fit its

notches over the printer’s mounting posts. Then slide the

paper guide toward the back of the printer until it clicks.

10. Attach the printer cover and adjust the paper position with

the paper-feed knob. Turn the knob until the perforation

between pages is just above the print head. Then turn on

the printer.

11. Make sure the printer cover is closed, but with the paper

guide cover open.

If you want to change the position where printing begins on the

page, press

LF/FF

to advance the page to the next top-of-form

position, and then see “Adjusting the Top-of-Form Position”

(below) to adjust the loading position.

To eject the paper, tear off the paper entering the printer; then

press the

LF/FF

button to feed the paper forward.

Adjusting the Top-of-Form Position

The top-of-form position is where the printer will start printing

on the page. If your printing appears too high or low, follow the

steps below to use the Micro Adjust feature to adjust the top-of-

form position.

Never use the knob to adjust the top-of-form position;

this may damage the printer or cause it to lose the top-

of-form position.

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 feature. If necessary,

adjust the top-of-form position in your software.

1. Make sure the printer is turned on and paper is loaded.

2. Remove the printer cover.

3. Hold down the

Pause

button for about 3 seconds. The

Tear Off

lights start flashing and the printer enters the

Micro Adjust mode.

4. Press the

LF/FF

button to move the top-of-form position

up on the page, or press the

Load/Eject

button to move

the top-of-form position down on the page.

The printer has a minimum and 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.
